PREFACE 



Processes Employed in Gathering: Materials, Writing, Arranging, Manufacturing and Publishing This Book. 



"Back to the Land." Easy to say but diffi- 
cult to perforin when there is no available land. 

How to make the land a reality, how to get 
there and how to come into the possession of a 
sufficiency of it to give the family a support are 
questions that millions of people want answered. 

Pertaining to the getting of a farm are 
numerous conditions, which relate to location, 
price, terms of purchase, climate, rainfall, fer- 
tility of soil, liability to drouth, extremes of heat 
and cold, annual number of growing days, popu- 
lation of neighboring market towns, cost of ship- 
ping farm i^roduets, etc. 

F'or the purpose of explaining these many con- 
ditions this book is prepared. It is intended to 
give an honest, impartial description concern- 
ing opportunities for new settlers in every region 
of the United States, from the long sunshine 
summer days of Alaska to the warm waters of 
the Gulf of Mexico, from the hills and valley 
farms of New England to tlie verdant plains, 
the lowlands and the uplands of the Pacific 
Coast. 

These descriptions are not colored in the in- 
terest of certain lands for sale. They are a 
truthful exposition of conditions which the land- 
seeker will find upon investigation. 

As a Guide, as an independent, disinterested 
work of reference, examination will reveal how 
large has been the task we have attempted to 
perjform. Por our purpose we have sought every 
means to do this work justice. Maps, descrip- 
tions, government surveys, cyclopedias, agricul- 
tural reports, public documents and statistics 
have been ours to investigate. Travel, personal 
observation and experiment have been ours to 
study 

The result is this large subject condensed 
into this compact vohune, small enough for the 
tourist and traveler to carr.y, printed in a type 
small enough to give a great amount of descrip- 
tion, yet so displayed as to be easy to study as a 
work of reference. 

A long period of time has been necessary in 
the preparation of this volume, to have it con- 
tain all that is necessary, to have it reliable, and 
so arranged that the reader can quickly find the 
information which is desired. 

To aid this work the 2,770 counties in the 
United States have been brought into use and 
in them the many thousand villages and cities of 
the country have been placed. While this does 
not always locate the town as closely as if the 
name was on the map, it gives the general idea 
of location in the region and state, and permits 
the finding, in a few seconds, the general 
situation of several thousand towns more than 
could possibly be given, even in the finest type, 
if names Mere printed on the map. 

This arrangement, which is entirely new and 
original with the author, enables us to give popu- 
lations of all towns d^wn to small villages of 200 
people, the shape, situation and population of all 
counties, each state and its bordering states be- 



ing so clearly defined, plainly lettered and 
marked as to give the student a general knowl- 
edge of the main features of every state. 

This book does not pretend to compete with 
fine books on geography. No effort has been 
made here to show situation of lakes, direction 
of rivers, location of mountains, bays or islands. 
We rest content in the endeavor to give general 
understanding of location, populations, and such 
description as will aid people who seek new loca- 
tion for residence, employment and business op- 
portunities. 

The expectation is that what we give will so 
stimulate desire to know further as to lead to a 
more extended study of the best maps, and 
create more and more demand for works upon 
geography. 

In the preparation of this work we acknowl- 
edge indebtedness to the Chicago Government 
Eeclamation Bureau for statistics and literature 
on irrigated lands, to the superior Band & Mc- 
Nally nraps, to the very complete Cram 's Atlas 
of the World, the Geographical Publishing Com- 
pany of Chicago, and to the Sixth Division of tin 
railway mail service located in Chicago. This 
latter institution has rendered us very important 
assistance in finding location and shape of every 
new county which has come into existence in the 
past few years. 

In passing we call attention to the intricate 
and difficult work performed by the engravers, 
Messrs. Ottman & Bliss, in outlining the shape 
and numbering of all counties in the United 
States, whereby we are enabled to give popula- 
tions and locations of all towns down to quite 
small villages. 

To these engravers we are also under obliga- 
tion for the superior lettering surrounding the 
maps, the showing of all bordering states so 
plainly their boundaries may be perfectly under- 
stood, and all this in shape such that the reader 
does not have to turn the map around or side- 
ways to see all its parts distinctly. 

Following came the reproduction of all maps 
and drawings into solid plates of zinc by the 
Service Engraving Company, suitable, in connec- 
tion with type, to print from. 

The reader will observe also that, while a 
great amount of matter is contained upon each 
page, the type and figures are all so bold and 
clear, accompanied by handsomely displayed 
headings, as to make every page an interesting 
study. For this mechanical and artistic typo- 
graphical arrangement we are indebted to the 
Peterson Linotype Company, the putting of all 
the pages into permanent book plate form for 
subsequent printing being done by the Illinois 
Electrotyping Company, while the portrait of the 
author on copper is executed by the Columbian 
Engraving Company. 

Added to all this mechanical and artistic labor 
come the printing and binding of this new pub- 
lication by the Began Printing House, the com- 
plete work, including several hundred thousand 
Mords, being exclusively a Chicago production.

may have been thrown up. the moisture on the earth's surface settling into the hollows, thus making

Occupied, two thousand or more years a£:o, by the Mound Builders: more 
recently by the red men, called Indians; opened to civilization bv Christo- 
pher C^olumbus, who discovered the Bahama Islands, October 12, 14'J2. 

This map and three others taken from "Hill's Guide," by Thomas E. 
Hill, published by Laird & Lee, Chicago, 111. 

When examining the map of North America ligures will be found extend- 
ing from left to right, beginning with A 1 and A 2. in the Arctic regions; 
succeeding which are B 1, etc., in the regions south of latitude 80; while 
south of latitude 70 are C 1, and so on, down to Central America. Letters 
and figures on the map indicate important localities. By examining the 
map the letters ind figures will be readily found indicating points that are

Description of Notable Objects on the Nortii 
American Continent. 

A 1. Tlie Nortli Pole. .\n imaginary point 
where the lines of longitude are supposed 
to converge. 

A 2. The Point Near the North Pole, 

reached by arctic navigators, being Lock- 
wood Island, discovered by the Greely ex- 
pedition in May, 1SS3. and supposed to be 
about 450 miles from the North Pole. Fail- 
ing to get supplies, the expedition started 
southward, and camped at Cape Sabin (see 
B. 2). about 420 miles southwest of Lock- 
wood Island, where they were rescued in a 
dying condition by the relief expedition un- 
der guidance of Commander W. S. Schley, 
7 being i-escued alive, 17 having died before 
relief arrived. 

B 1. Point Barrows. The northernmost 
point of Alaska, and the most northern point 
of the United i^tates' possessions. 

B 2. Cape Sabin. A localitv that will 

always be notable as the place where the 
Greely explorers went into camp and waited 
for relief, which did not come until the 
majority of the party had died. 

B 3. Baffin's Bay. So named after Wil- 
liam Baffin, who first explored the region 
in 1810. It is a large inland sea. 1,000 
miles long and .lOO miles wide.

B 4. Greenland. A region 
of unknown extent north- 
ward, said to have been dis- 
covered in the ninth cen- 
tury by an Icelander. Dr. 
Kane extended his explora- 
tions northward. across 
Greenland, to within 520 
miles of the North Pole. The 
whole face of the northern 
portion is covered with a 
sheet of ice and snow. 
Greenlanders are widely 
scattered throughout the 
colder regions of the north. 

B 5. Spitzbergren. A group 
of islands covering about 
30,000 English square miles. 
Covered with nearly perpet- 
ual snow and glaciers. 

C 1. Siberia. A vast ter- 
ritory in North Asia, be- 
longing to Russia, 4.000 
miles long and 2,600 wide. 

C 2. Behring's Strait. Ex- 
plored by Vitus Behring in 
1728; is nearly 50 miles wide 
from Alaska to Siberia, with 
three uninhabited islands 
nearly midway between. To- 
wards the middle the water 
is about 120 feet in depth. 
With a railroad spanning the 
distance between Alaska and 
Siberia, either above water 
or in a tunnel under the 
water, nearly all portions of 
the world could be traversed 
by continuous railways. 

C 3. Alaska. Belongs to 
the United States; comprises 
565,862 square miles; popu- 
lation in 1000. 63,502. A 
small proportion are whites. 
Purchased of Russia, in 1867, 
for $7,200,000. Alaskan 
waters are the home of the 
fur seal, the largest weigh- 
ing about 700 pounds. 

C 4. Yukon River. The 

principal river of Alaska; 
rises in the Rocky Moun- 
tains, in the Canadian Do- 
minion, flows 2.000 miles, 
and empties into the Pacific 
ocean some 400 miles south- 
w^est of Behring Strait. 

C 5. Canadian Dominion. 

A vast area of country in 
the northern part of North 
.iimerica, usually designated 
as British America, contains 
o. 500.000 square miles, ex- 
tending from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific Ocean, and froin 
the United States to the Arc- 
tic Ocean. Population in 
1901 was 5,528,847. 

C 6. Mackenzie River. An 

important river of British 
America. 1.77."? miles long. 
Runs through .Athabasca 
and Great Slave Lakes, and 
empties into the .Arctic 
Ocean. 



C 7. Great Bear Lake. By 

observing a perfect map of 
North America it will be 
seen that a chain of lakes 
extends from the Arctic 
Ocean, near .Alaska, east- 
ward to the Gulf of St. 
Lawrence. The most north- 
erly of these is Great Bear 
Lake, the area of surface of 
which is estimated to be 14,- 
000 square miles. 



C 8. Great Slave Lake. 

Next, south of Great Bear, 
is Great Slave Lake, 300 
miles in length by 50 in 
width, and like other lakes 
in this region, wholly frozen 
over for six inonths In the 
year. 

C 9. Hudson Bay. A 

great inland sea, on the bor- 
ders of which the Hudson 
Bay Company, which was 
established in 1670, held 
control until 1869; at which 
time their possessions were 
transferred to the Dominion 
of Canada for the sum of 
$1,500,000, they only reserv- 
ing their trading posts and 
a small amount of land 
around each post. 

C 10. Hudson Strait is a 

body of water joining Hud- 
son Bay with the Atlantic 
Ocean ; is 450 miles in 
length, by 60 miles in 
width. 

C 11. Davis Strait. So

ALABAMA. 



This state, 330 miles in length by 1.54 iniles in 
width, traversed by numerous large navigable rivers, 
which readily carry the products of the state to the 
great thoroughfares of ocean transportation, offers 
many inducements to people seeking new and desir- 
able location for settlement on land. 

The variety of climate resulting from difference of 
latitude permits the following of that kind of farm- 
ing which is satisfactory to agriculturalists and 
horticulturalists who have had certain experience in 
cultivating the soil, and to those who have had no 
agricultural experience, the large diversity of oppor- 
tunity here for getting a living appeal very strongly 
to the land seeker. 

Thus those people who are fond of fruit culture, 
find climate and soil adapted to their wants in the 
southern counties bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. 

SOIL IN SOUTHERN ALABAMA. 

The southern part of the state has an alluvial soil, 
light, but highly productive and favorable for rais- 
ing fruits. Cotton and corn are produced, and there 
are e.xtensive forests of pine in this region. 

COTTON AND MINERAL LAND OF ALAB.4MA. 

Further north, towards the middle of the state, is a 
prairie region admirably adapted to the raising of 
cotton. 

The great mineral section is in the eastern and 
northeastern part of the state. Here are the iron 
mines and the coal lands which have contributed so 
largely to the building up of the iron manufactories 
in Birmingham and the surrounding country. 

It requires but a moment of consideration to rea- 
lize that a combination of iron ore and prolific coal 
beds, in close vicinity of each other, combined with 
the rapid development of the South, in railroad 
building and manufacturing, all tends to the making 
of numerous large cities and the giving of large 
nvimbers of people employment. 

In the western part of the state is a manufacturing 
district which is well supplied with water power. 

LUMBER AND VARIOUS INDUSTRIES. 

In the southern part of the state are forests of 
cypress, yellow pine and magnolia. Also the fig 
and pomegranite, olive, apricot and orange trees, 
grasses, the cereals and corn in the valleys. Cotton 
is raised in the northern parts of the state. 



In the southern parts of the state are grown 
sugar, rice and some indigo. Tobacco is grown to 
some extent. 

ALABAMA NORTH AND SOUTH. 

From a circular entitled "North and South" we 
gather items of interest concerning different parts of 
the state. 

While many people will be attracted to the southern 
counties of Alabama, to most people the northern 
part of the state is equally attractive. 

"North and South" says, speaking of one Of the 
northernmost counties: 

"Lauderdale County. Alabama, must be a good 
county, or Andrew Jackson, 'Old Hickory,' would 
not have invested in real estate in Florence, as he 
did in 1818. 'Old Hickory' had traveled over all this 
Soutliern country, and had the reputation of knowing 
a grood thing when he saw it, and one of the first 
things he did after reaching Lauderdale County, 
Alabama, was to buy some land. In those days the 
"boom fever' caught the people about as it does now, 
and Andy was not exempt. 

"Lauderdale County is in the great 'Middle Belt' 
half way between the North and South, avoiding 
both extremes as to heat and cold, and has many 
other advantages that make it a desirable place tc 
live. It is seldom a county is found that offers as 
much as Lauderdale County does, both in agri- 
cultural and manufacturing advantages. 

AS A FARMING REGION. 

".'Vs a farming section, Lauderdale is all that 
could be desired. They raise a great diversity of 
crops and the climate conditions are most favorable. 
Land can be bought from $10 per acre up, and while 
a bale of cotton to the acre is always considered a 
satisfactory yield, and sometimes less, a farmer near 
Florence, by giving his crop a little extra care, and 
by the liberal use of fertilizer, produced two bales 
of cotton to the acre. Cotton culture, however, is 
of little consequence to the Northern reader, who is 
as a rule unfamiliar with the inethods of cotton 
growing, but looks to the growing of corn and wheat 
as his legitimate calling, for he knows more about 
the business. 

A MILDER CLIMATE. 

"Lauderdale County offers strong inducements to 
the man that desires to come to a milder climate. 



12 



Alabama Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



even though he does not wish to farm. The many 
factories, foundries, etc., in Florence offer the work- 
ingman something he cannot get in some Northern 
rities; that is, work every day in the year, if he 
wants it. A man can live for less, fuel costs him 
less, and there are plenty of other advantages offered 
here that are not to be found in the North. 

ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL CITIES OF THE 
SOUTH. 

"Just above the head of the beautiful and broad 
Mobile Bay lies the city of Mobile, the second in 
age of all the cities on the Southern coast, as well 
as the second in size and importance. From her 
wharfs sail ships to all the ports of the world, 
loaded with cotton, coal, iron, lumber and naval 
stores. Mobile was the first capital of the French 
province, and so remained until 1763, when it be- 
came a British dependency. A few years later 
Spain became her master and only reluctantly gave 
way in 1813 to Ainerican troops sent over from 
New Orleans. No city in the South has shown 
greater progress in the past few years. Innumerable 
large modern buildings have been constructed. No 
city of like size anywhere in this country has better 
hotels. The street oar system is exceptionally good, 
while the inajor portion of this city is well paved 
with asphalt and brick. Government Street, running 
from the business center of the city far out into the 
suburbs, is one of the finest residence streets in the 
South and has many handsome homes. 

CLIMATE ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL ATTRAC- 
TIONS. 

"The climate is one of its principal attractions — 
never too cold in winter, rarely damp and with an 
abundance of warm sunshiny days. Mobile has the 
distinction of being tlie originator of the carnival 
street parades and today vies with New Orleans in 
the beauty and splendor of the Mardi Gras display. 

"Some of the finest deep and shallow water game 
Hsliing in the country is to be had in easy reach of 
Mobile, and the "snapper banks," near the Point, are 
noted for the immense numbers of finny inhabitants 
and their delicious flavor, while tarpon, Spanish 
mackerel, .green trout, pompano and the game, fight- 
ing redfish are found in limitless quantities, while in 
the woods, not far distant, wild turkeys and big 
game abound for the sport of the hunter. The privi- 
leges of both the yacht and golf clubs are easily ob- 
tained by visiting tourists. 

"There are beautiful places to be seen in and about 
Mobile; no more picturesque drive exists on the gulf 
coast than the famous shell road, which runs for ten 
or twelve miles along the crest of the bluffs under a 
green arbor of odorous magnolias. 

A GREAT WINTER RESORT. 

"The eastern shore of Mobile Bay has become as 
famous a winter resort as it was a summer resort in 
years gone by. With each returning winter a large 
number of tourists from the North, East and West 
visit this section and either rent cottages for the 
season or stay at one of the numerous hotels or 
boarding houses. Each day furnishes a round of 
sport and amusement. Fishing and sailing jiarties 
are of daily occurrence, while hunting parties go to 
the interior of Baldwin County after quail and wild 
turkey. The principal resorts on the eastern shore 
are Point Clear. Zundels Wharf. Battles Wharf, 
Montrose, Daphne and Fairhope. .\11 of these points 
are reached by boat from Mobile. High bluffs follow 
the coast line nearly the entire length of the eastern 
shore, giving a magnificent, unobstructed view of 
the bay. 

The shore line along the coast is broken by In- 
numerable bays, rivers and bayous, and down these 
water courses immense quantities of timbeii find their 
way to the mills and to ports from which it is 
exported to the four quarters of the globe. The 
shipping is protected by the outlying islands and the 
peninsula of Florida .lutting out as it does into the 
ocean breaks the severity of the .\tlantic storms, 
and the immense losses sustained along the Atlantic 
seaboard and in Southern Florida are hero unknown. 

The recent devastating West Indian hurricane, 
which wrought such great damage to the orange 
groves in Florida, caused scarce a ripple on the 
waters along the Riviera. 



THE RIVIERA OF THE GULF COAST. 

Extending from Mobile westward along the Gulf 
Coast to New Orleans are many interesting cities, 
which will be found described in connection with our 
description of other states. 

"Tall thriving trees confess'd the fruitful mould; 

The verdant orange ripens here to gold; 

Here the blue fig with luscious juice o'erflows. 

With deepest red the full pomegranate glows; 

The balmy spirit of the western gale 

Eternal breathes on fruit untaught to fail. 

Each dropping pear another pear supplies, 

On orange oranges, figs on figs arise; 

The same mild season gives the blooms to blow, 

The buds to harden, and the fruits to grow." 

The fame of Europe's Riviera has been sung in 
song and poesy for many centuries. When the Lon- 
doner tires of the damp fogs and the Parisian finds 
the winds along his beloved boulevards too keen, they 
go to Southern France or Spain or along the historic 
and beautiful shoi'es of fair Italy or Sicily for health, 
pleasure and repose. 

Had the bard who voiced his apprecjaiton of that 
fair country in the lines quoted at the head of this 
column been residing in this country he would have 
found the same inspiration where the waters of Mis- 
sissippi Sound lovingly embrace the shores of South- 
ern Alabama and Mississippi. 

His description of the fair land along the Mediter- 
ranean fits this section like a lady's glove. Without 
the spiteful gleam of Vesuvius' treacherous fires: 
with no fear of earthquakes; no camorrist or black 
hand fuedists to levy tribute on the honest residents; 
with all of the charm of the European resort and 
none of its drawbacks, this surpassingly beautiful 
Creole Coast can well lay claim to be called the 
Riviera of .\merica. 

This coast has not the rugged mountain back- 
ground of its Old World rival, but it has a restful 
and entrancing sweetness and beauty all Its own. 

Endowed with a superlatively glorious climate; 
peopled by the descendants of those gracious South- 
ern cavaliers whose names were synonymous with 
courtly manners and superb hospitality: with a his- 
tory reaching far back into the romantic centuries 
of the young republic's birth, across whose stage 
have stalked ma.jestic Indians, swaggering swash- 
bucklers, roving adventurers, daring explorers, and 
even lawless pirates, it is indeed a country worth 

FOODSTUFFS FOR THE WORLD. 

Above its towering pines the colors of many na- 
tions waved before our forefathers, with inspired 
outlook into the future, secured title to this fair 
land and unfurled the glorious stars and stripes and 
bade the foreign nations withdraw their governors 
and leave this coast in trust for the future rulers 
of the universe — the American farmers — who must 
furnish the foodstuffs for the world. 

For many generations this has been the playground 
of the South. When the big crops of cotton were 
finally floated to the market in the antebellum days, 
the aristocratic planters were wont to foregather 
here and idle away the winter hours amidst the 
health-giving pines, fanned by the invigorating salt- 
laden zephyrs that the grand old ocean tempered by 
the warmth of the gulf stream and sent to the sun- 
kissed shores of this delightful land. 

Here they would sit beneath gigantic oaks, all gar- 
landed and festooned with wonderful growths of 
moss that had been gathering for untold ages and 
listen to -he lisping laughter of the rippling wavelets 
that seemed but as the pulse-beats of the mighty 
ocean's great tides, gently caressing the pearly sands. 
The storm-tossed seas were prevented from dashing 
against the coast by the chain of islands that the 
.\rchitect of the Deep has so benignly placed in the 
gulf a dozen miles from shore to form a natural 
barrier and protection. 

THE B.\THING. 

These islands also serve to tone down the ocean's 
waves, and no one who has not en.ioyed the pleasure 
can realize the ecstatic enjoyment to be derived from 
the sea bathing in the waters along the Gulf Coast 
The water is shallow, the beach hard. The water is 
always of a delighftul temperature. There are no 
big breakers that knock one down and roll them 
along the beach. No life lines are necessary, under- 
tows are practicaly unknown and the life savers who 
are so prominent at the resorts on the Atlantic coast 
are never seen here.

Alaska, region first visited by Berins in 1741, 
Bering- was a Dane who belonged to the Russian 
navy. In command of a fleet he was sent out by 
Peter the Great of Russia, to explore the Arctic 
Sea and Strait, afterwards named for him. 

.Alaska Territory was purchased from Russia in 
1S67 for .$7,200,000. the purcliase being negoliated 
by Wm. H. Seward, then U. S. Secretary of State. 
Area of the territory, 577,300 square miles, aggre- 
gate area of the islands in the territory, 8,194 square 
miles. Length of territory 1,100 miles, width 800 
miles. Length of sea coast estimated at 26,000 miK>s 

Acres in Alaska surveyed, 7,125; acres unsurveyed, 
in 1010, are 308,028,975. 

Capital of the Territory, formerly Sitka; is now 
.Tuiu-au. 

Comparative Size. Alaska is two and a half times 
ns large as Texas. It is eight times as large as all 
Now England. It has the highest m.3untain, Mt. 
McKinley, in North America. Mt. McKinley 20,300 
ftet It has ihe greatest seal fsherics, gnatest 
salmon fisheries and largest river — the Yukon. 
Standing on its bank. 150 miles from its mouth, the 
opposite bank cannot be seen. It is 20 miles wide 
700 miles from its mouth. With its tributaries it 



is navigable for 2,500 miles. It discharges one-third 
more water than the Mississippi. 

Number of reindeer in territory, 8,194. 

AGRICULTURE AND TILL.4BLE LAND 

Agriculture is yet in its beginning in Alaska. 
Aided by greenhouses, which will start plants in the 
spring, it is probable that horticultural products will 
become a source of large profit adjoining the cities 
and villages of the country. 

The Summer Sun of 90 degrees above, and IS and 
22 hours of sunshine, during the day, so warms the 
soil as to permit the growth of grasses, berries and 
the ripening of various kinds of vegetables, during 
the three months from June 15 to September 15. 

TILLABLE L.\ND IN ALASKA 

Tillable land, in southern Alaska, is estimated at 
from 2,500,000 to 3.200,000 acres. In the Yukon dis- 
trict at 4GO,000 acres. 

Grasses are the most valuable plant products, in- 
cluding timothy, Alaska red top, blue grass and or- 
chard grass. Wild barley and rye flourish. 

Berries of fine flavor grow abundantlv in the Yu- 
kon district.

Alaskan Facts 



At Eagle, 110 miles from Dawson, and lying 5 
miles in American territory, the gardens produce 
and mature potatoes, cabbages, caulirtower, lettuce, 
turnips and radishes. Other vegetables, peas, beans, 
etc., are also being grown. Barley, oats and flax 
mature perfectly at Sitka. 

The number of growing days there is given at 122. 
At St. Michaels, killing frosts occur from September 
2 to 22, giving 106 growing days. Average annual 
temperature here is 26 above. Summer temperature 
reaches 77 above and winter .5.5 below. 

At Eagle, on the Yukon river, ice begins running 
from May 4 to May 10. The river is clear of ice bji 
May 19 and closes by October 10. 

KLONDIKE TOWN— I>.\RGE PERMANENT IM- 
PROVEMENTS 

Dawson has a permanent resident population of 
about 7,000. a school house costing $40,000, public 
buildings which cost $2,50,000, and two daily news- 
papers. 

DISTANCES GOING TO ALASKA 

In going to Nome by water, across the Pacific 
ocean, the route leads from Seattle to Dutch Harbor, 
OMe of the Allution Islands. Distance from Seattle 
to Dutch Harbor. 2.100 miles; time 8 days. From 
Dutch Harbor to Nome, 800 miles; time, 3 days. 
Fast boats may go in less time. From Seattle to 
.Skagway. by water, 1.000 miles; time. 4 daj-s. From 
Skagway to White Horse, by rail, 112 miles; time, 
10 hours. FroiTi White Horse to Dawson, by Lewes 
and Yukon rivers, 4.50 miles; time, 2 days. 

From White Horse to Dawson, in winter, passen- 
gers are conveyed by sleighs. Each sleigh will carry 
nine passengers. Frequent road houses occur on the 
way. From Dawson to Eagle, 110 miles. Froni 
Eagle to U. S. line, 5 miles. From Seattle to St. 
Michaels, by way of Dawson, 2.!t.SS miles. Nome is 
120 miles from Cape Prince of Wales. It is pro- 
posed to tunnel under Bering Strait froin Cape Prince 
(if Wales to Russian territory, a distance of about 
50 miles, the tunnel to an island midway in the 
strait being about 25 miles in length. 

Owing to a strong current always flowing north- 
ward the strait is never, or seldom ever, frozen over 
in the winter. The depth of water here averages 
from 120 to ISO feet. 

Expense of going to .-Maska from Seattle to Nome, 
via Pacific Ocean, is from .$30 to $125. Freight costs 
from $7 to $22 per ton. 

Passenger fare from Seattle to Dawson, by way of 
Skagv.-ay, $.S0. Returning from Dawson to Seattle, 
by -way of Skagway, $100. The journey up the river 
from Dawson to White Horse requires more time and 
is more expensive than in going down. One of the 
leading transportation companies charges $250 for 
passage to Nome via Skagway, White Horse and St. 
Michaels, returning to Seattle, the place of starting, 
by boat, via Dutch Harbor. 

Gold. The annual output of gold in the territory 
is from $6,000,000 to $7,500,000, two thiras of which 
has latterly come from Nome. 

FACTS ABOUT AL.4SKA GOLD 

Klondike gold varies in size and appearance from 
particles of Indian meal up to grains of rice. For 
purpose of transportation it is melted and run into 
oblong form about the size of ordinary building 
brick. 

Ice. As ice breaks up in Bering Sea about June 
15 and close interior Alaskan ports about October 10, 
it is seen that freight for this point must be received 
and removed within a period of a little over three 
months. 

DEPTH OF GROUND NOT FROZEN 

With summer days, filled with warm sunshine from 
18 to 22 hours, each 24 hours, the ground thaws to 
a depth of about two feet from the surface. From 
that depth downward, a depth of 95 feet, the earth 
is frozen solid. 

Ico closes navigation on the Yukon river by Oc- 
tober 10. and continues usually until May 20, of the 
next year. 

Juneau, named from Joseph Juneau, a mining pros- 
pector, the capital of the territory, is the location 
of the Alaska Land office, and has a varying popu- 
lation of about 2,000. Parties desiring to engage in 
agriculture, mining or to obtain government land in 
the territory, will address the Land Commissioner 
at Juneau. In going into the interior of Alaska by 
the Ska.gway route it is well to stop off for a time 
at Juneau and gather general Information about the 
country. 

Mining: in Alaslia. Up to the present time the 
most of the gold taken from Alaska has come from 
the top soil. The Treadwell quartz mine at Juneau 
is one exception. This mine, which a San Francisco 
builder named Treadwell, took for a debt of $150 
when it was a mere prospect hole, now employs 1,200 
workmen and runs 80 stamps. 



Hundreds of millions in gold are supposed to be 
hidden in the rocks of Alaska, and when exploring 
enterprise opens this wealth to the world, the great 
influx of population will begin and the area of 
Alaska's prosperity will commence. 

U. S. anNLNG REGULATIONS AND BRITISH 

While the resident of Alaska must be a citizen, 
or have declared intention to become a citizen, be- 
fore he can secure a mining claim, British law in 
the Klondike will permit the miner to obtain a claim 
without being naturalized. A certain amount of de- 
velopment work is required, however, or money de- 
posited each year, to hold a claim. 

Nome. This town has a resident population in 
winter of 2,500 and 6,000 additional in the summer. 
There are in the summer, also, from 12,000 to 15. COO 
people scattered about on this peninsula where Nome 
is situated. The inhabitants of this town and vicin- 
ity get their supply of outside news from two semi- 
weekly newspapers published in Nome. 

Nome lias no harbor, and seagoing vessels cannot 
get within one mile of the coast. If rough water 
prevails, passengers sometimes have to wait several 
days before they can be taken ashore by lighters, 
which come out from Nome to take off passengers 
and freight. 

Postal facilities. During the winter period of eight 
months the mail comes into Nome by dog team from 
Dawson, and as the mail cannot exceed 400 pounds 
in weight, no newspapers or magazines from the out- 
side world can be received within that time. 

Roads, A determined effort is being made to pro- 
vide the Yukon district with good roads, the British 
government assisting in the enterprise. Aided by 
motor carriages this will greatly assist in opening 
the country long before the advent of railroads. 
Hundreds of miles, radiating from Dawson, are to 
be laid out and improved in the near future. 

As the fall of snow is light and what falls lies 
steadily on the ground, people will soon be travers- 
ing the country with motor sleighs. 

Routes to Alaska. W^hile Skagway with its pop- 
ulation of 1,200 is as yet the best entrance into the 
Yukon country, it is probable that Valdez and Cor- 
dova, located on Prince Williams Sound, will be- 
come towns of much importance and two of the 
main points of entrance to the interior of the coun- 
try. 

Valdez has a population of 1.000 and is the point 
furthest north, having an excellent" harbor which is 
not closed by ice in the winter. Railroad building 
has begun from Cordova which is the starting point 
of the Copper River Line. 

To test agricultural possibilities thoroughly, the 
United States government gives the settler 320 acres 
of land under homestead conditions. 

AGRICULTUR-AL EXPERI3IENT STATIONS 

The possibilities of this region in the growing of 
food stuffs have yet to be more fully tested. Agri- 
cultural experiment stations have been established 
at Kanai. Cooks Inlet and at Sitka, and these, with 
stations which will be started in the interior of the 
country on the Yukon, will show what can be grown. 

Climate. Dawson and other points in the interior 
of Alaska. The thermometer shows summer at 00 
above, and winter's cold at 60 and 70 below. The 
air is still and dry at that temperature and is no 
inore uncomfortable than when the thermometer 
shows 20 and 25 in the States. 

The Japanese current modifies the temperature 
along the southeastern coast up to Cook's Inlet. At 
Sitka the temperature ranges from 85 above to 4 
below. Barley, oats and flax have matured here and 
at Ska.gway perfectly. 

The rainfall along the southern coast is about 100 
inches a year. 

Controller Bay. Is in an extensive region of 
United States government possession, southwest of 
Valdez, which has large coal deposits. In order to 
get out this coal the government has been disposed 
to sell tracts of land where it lies to capitalists who 
have the means to mine it. The result is a com- 
pany has started to build the Copper River railroad 
which leads to the mines, the town of Cordova, at 
the terminus of the railroad, containing several 
hundred people has sprung up. and hope has been 
expressed that the incoming of capital would tend 
to the development of Shaska. At this period 1911. 
the government is being criticised for selling its val- 
uable coal beds to a private syndicate, it is alleged, 
to the detriment of others who would like to take 
out and ship coal to the various towns on the Pacific 
Coast. The outcome of the controversy will prob- 
ably be the renting of the coal lands on such favor- 
able conditions as will induce capital to open the 
mines and pay a royalty to the government on each 
ton of coal taken out and shipped away.

The New State of Arizona. Admitted to the Union in 1911 



ARIZONA 

Large Territory in Southwest Portion of the United States. 
Inducements Offered to New Settlers in Arizona 



Arizona, including a State of 113,016 squaip miles. 
was first visited by Spanish explorers in 1.538. The 
Gulf of California, thr> Colorado and Gila rivers were 
discovered in 1542. and two boats ascended the Colo- 
rado to the Grand Canyon. 

By treaty with Mexico in 1846 all that portion of 
the present State north of the Gila river was ceded 
to the United States. At that time the white popu- 
lation included but a few hundred in the vicinity of 
Tucson, there being: no whites in the central and 
northern parts of the territory. 

THE GADSEN PURCHASE. 

In 1854 the Hon. James Gadsen, then minister from 
the United States to Mexico, negotiated the purchase 
of the territory Iving between the Gila river and 
Sonora, Mexico, for .$10,000,000. that addition to the 
territory being known as the "Gadsen Purchase." 
This purchase added to the United States 30,000 
square miles of territory, an area about the size of 
South Carolina. At that time the Southern Pacific 
railroad was in contemplation and was afterwards 
built on this territory of the Gadsen purchase. 

The fare of the country in Arizona consists largely 
of high broad plains, the elevation of more than 
half of the territory being above 5,000 feet. 

The principal river, the Colorado, noted for its 
Grand Canyon, is 2,000 miles in length and navigable 
400 miles for boats of light draft. The Gila, another 
large river of the State, is about 500 miles long, 
four-fifths of this stream being In Arizona. The 
Salt, Verde, Black and other rivers empty into the 
Gila river. 

Gila Monster. Speaking of Gila reminds us to ex- 
plain that the "Gila monster." of which we sometimes 
hear, is simply a large lizard found in the sands of 
New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, and is harmless so 
far as human beings are concerned, though its Ijite, 
which is poisonous, is said to be fatal to small ani- 
mals. 

Tlie oliniate is tropical in the southwestern section 
of the State, temperate in the valley regions and 
frigid in the mountain districts in the winter season. 
The air is dry and clear. 

Rainfall.. The average annual rainfall in the up- 
per porlion of the State is 16.1 inches. In the south- 
ern part only about 3 inches. 

Agriculture here becomes important, therefore, in 
pi-oportion as artificial waterways are extended. The 
area of .Arizona farming land includes 1.000,000 acres, 
of which about 200,000 acres are now under cultiva- 
tion. 

With a sufllciency of moisture all the products of 
the sub-tropics are grown here in abundance. The 
future of this re,gion in agricvilture, depends upon 
irrigation, which capital and engineering ability will, 
in time, supply, and is already supplying, as seen in 
the Salt river project in Miricopa county, which we 
describe elsewhere. 

Much of the general situation in Arizona may be 
known from the following: 

ARTZON.\ IN OUTLINE. 

A Grand Field Rirli in Mining: and Agrrirultiiral 
Possibilities. 

Not only are there thousands of square miles of 
mineral lands in this State yet unexplored but in no 
part of the world are there to be found a greater 
number of natural curiosities than are to be seen 
in this region. 

Entering: Arizona from the west, on the Santa Fe 
railroad, the tourist may change cars at Williams and 
.go north sixty-four miles to the Grand Canyon, and 
the greatest natural curiosities in the world. 

The Colorado river has cut a channel in the soft 
•■ock for a dis'an<e of over 200 miles, sinking so low 
in the rock as to make the sides of the chasm rise 
perpendicularly at some points on either side to a 
hi-ight of over one mile. 



The general government has set aside, in the 
northern part of Mohave county, 2,.S93 square miles 
of area as a national park, in a portion of which is 
the Cataract Canyon, at which point it is wisdom for 
the tourist to remain for several days, going out 
sight-seeing from the well-kept hotels which the 
guest finds on arrival here. 

MANY NATURAL CURIOSITIES. 

Numerous points of interest claim attention in this 
region beside the rocky canyon, among them being 
the San Francisco mountains and the plateau in the 
midst of a desert, while the varied scenery of plain 
and mountains, which rise up here twelve and thir- 
teen thousand feet, add sublimity to the scene. 

Petrified Forest. To see other very interesting 
features of the State, the tourist returns to Williams 
and goes eastward by rail to Holbrook, only a few 
miles from which station are the great Natural 
Bridge in Navajo county and the world-famous petri- 
fied forest, covering a tract of about 2,000 acres, once 
heavily timl^ered, which geologists surmise, in the 
rise and fall of the earth's crust from volcanic up- 
heavals, may once have been in the bottom of a great 
inland sea. Again, in another epoch, covering possibly 
thousands of years, this sea may have receded, an 
earth may have formed above these monarchs of the 
forest, to be washed away from this plain by the 
floods that followed in the subsequent centuries; and 
here at last these giants of a vast prehistoric age lie 
glistening in the sunshine, mute evidences of great 
changes on the earth's surface when the world was 
young. 

The stranger in gazin.g on this remarkable scene 
can only wonder what unexplained phase of nature 
changed these trees into such beautiful precious 
stones, including chalcedony, topaz, onyx, cornelian, 
agate and amethyst. 

^liat a remarkable forest it must have been in the 

olden time to have grown these great trees 150 and 
200 feet in height and, at largest parts, 10 feet in 
diameter. 

In this petrified forest are gems enough to supply 
the world. The wonders of Egypt are as nothing 
compared with this vast forest turned to stone. 

Cliflf Dwellings. All ever Nava.io county are the 
ruins of prehistoric cities. In Apache county the 
remains of cliff dwellings are never failing objects 
of interest to the curiosity hunter and archeologist. 
Days and weeks can be passed here in a study of 
clitf dwellings and the remains of acqueducts, con- 
structed for the purpose of irrigation by a people 
thousands of years ago. 

It is impossil.'le to go by rai' and visit the inter- 
esting points in Arizona without retracing our steps 
at some points on the journey. Before leaving this 
region, however, we visit a remnant of a tribe of cliff 
and cave dwellers who live in a wild retreat known 
as Cataract Canyon, a class of people found in no 
other part of the world, a race of human beings who 
represent the age before history began, primitive 
man. a living picture of what our ancestors were 
perhaps 50,000 years ago. 

Returning: westward, we stop at Flagstaff, a town 
so named from the fact that a government expedi- 
tion, many years ago, camped at this point on the 
Fourth of July, trimmed >ip a tall pine tree and 
floated a flag from its top. The name was thus given 
to the place before a house was erected in the town. 

OF GREAT INTEREST TO EU3IBERMEN. 

Flagstaff is located on the edge of a vast pine 
forest in which it is estimated there are billions of 
foet of lumber. Landseekers interested in the lumber 
business should understand that thousands of acres 
of superior pine are waiting here for the incoming 
of enterprising lumbermen. 

The journey is continued westward and a stop 
made at Prescott. This is a central point for the 
mining interest, but is only one of the important 
miiiin-g centers of the State. 



Arizona Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



The Clark Copper Mine. Southward from Pres- 
cott, some thirty miles, is the copper mining section 
of the United Verde District at Jerome. It is here 
where Senator W. A. Clark has acquired a part of 
his large fortune. The claim is made that the 
United Verde mine has yielded for several years, and 
now gives a profit of $9,000,000 a year. 

As the digging of precious metals out of the earth 
is a most fascinating work, and as Arizona has many 
mountains throughout the entire State in which 
there is vast treasure yet to be explored and de- 
veloped, the landseeker in search of good opportunity 
for investment in mining will wish to know some- 
thing about prospects here. In explanation it may 
be said that no brief article can do this subject jus- 
tice. 

The air here is full of mining intelligence and 
news of new discoveries being made every week, but 
to verify reports and fully understand the subject 
the inquirer shoufn spend a good deal of time right 
here on the ground. 

PROFITS IN COPPER >nNING. 

Published reports give the following: 

The "Fortuna" mine, 27 miles south of Yuma, has 
paid .$.jO,000 profit each month for several years. 

The "Peirce" mine, in Cochise county, near Sul- 
phur Springs, has given $20,000,000 to its owners in 
the past eight years. 

The "Bisbee" mine, in Cochise county, has paid 
$20,000,000 in dividends to its stockholders in the 
past 20 years. 

The "Vulture" mine, 60 miles from Phoenix, though 
liardly opened yet, has already turned out $10,000,- 
000 in profits. 

THE OPENING OF A COPPER 3nNE. 

To people who have never seen the opening and de- 
velopment of a copper mine it will be interesting to 
visit the Mascot Copper mine, located 16 miles east 
of Wilcox, Cochise county, in Arizona, on the side of 
the Dos Cabezas mountains. Prospectors years ago 
discovered this mine, had specimens of the ore as- 
sayed, learned that the ore carried a certain per cent 
of gold and silver along with copper, sold out the 
property to a syndicate of capitalists, who incor- 
poiated a company capitalized at $10,000,000, shares 
being placed at $10 each. 

Knowing: that a good copper mine holds out for a 
lifetime, investors have bought shares fast enough to 
keep a force of men at work since the beginning, un- 
covering the ore and doing preparatory work at an 
expense of several thousand dollars per month, mak- 
ing ready for sending the ore by gravity down to a 
smelter in the valley below. 

Visitors are not only made welcome but they are 
transported from Wilcox to the mine by automobiles, 
are siven an interesting country ride and an oppor- 
tunity to investigate copper mining, which is one of 
the great industries of Arizona. Our map shows the 
location of the Mascot copper mine. 

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES. 

The ultiinato source of great wealth in this region 
will be agricultural production. 

Arizona is blessed with a delightful climate. There 
are numerous elevated plains in the upper part of the 
State where the weather is cool and frosts prevail in 
the cold seasons of the year, but in the southern part 
of the country the climate is such as will produce in 
perfection oranges, dates, figs, lemons, olives and 
peaches several weeks earlier than can be given in 
other regions of the same latitude. The possibilities 
in fruit culture are shown in the strawberry, which, 
by attention, can be kept in bearing here for eight 
months in the year. 

As the average rainfall of the entire State is but 
about 7 inches a year, the universal want of the 
country is irrigation — more water for growing crops. 

ANCIENT IRRIGATION WORKS HERE. 

It is clearly evident that the inhabitants of this 
repion, in the remote past, overcame this difficulty 
by aqueducts. The engineering talent of the present 
age will, in similar manner, surmount this trouble. 

Arizona is so large in area and so diversified in 
opportunities for the land seeker in lumbering, min- 
ing, ostrich raising, dairying, fruit growing or poul- 
try enterprise we know not what to particularly 
describe, 

It should be understood that Arizona has many 
regions where delightful homes may be made and 
fortunes acquired. 



We will let Mr. E. J. Bennitt, of Phoenix, tell about 
a single section. This is but one. There are many 
others. 

STORY OF AN AUTO RIDE 

By £. J. Bennitt. 

"T wonder if, after all, it will prove a fool's er- 
rand?" 

Thus Jacob Harris queried himself, seeking, yet 
expecting no answer, as he seated himself comfort- 
ably on a plush cushion and looked out of the car 
window. Of mature years, spent mainly in the 
Middle West, he had acquired a modest competence 
for his family. But the long, cold winters, during 
which he suffered exposure in the protection of what 
he was able to acquire in the fruitful summer sea- 
sons, were sapping his vitality. He dreaded the in- 
clemencies and chances of crop failure that, any 
season, might reduce his savings to a minimum. He 
had seen some literature of the Salt River Valley 
and had been induced to spend a few dollars in per- 
sonally investigating the seemingly fairy-tale claims. 
"I will never be a rich man anyway," he mused, 
"and perhaps I ought to let well enough alone." 

"Phoenix," announced the conductor, and an hour 
later Jacob Harris was in conversation with a 
Phoenix real estate dealer to whom he had been 
recommended. A tour of the valley was arranged 
to begin the next morning, and the rest of that 
day was devoted to sizing up the city, visiting the 
Phoenix Board of Trade, examining the maps of the 
county and territory, the exhibits of fruits and prod- 
ucts, and inquiring of those he met concerning the 
crop returns of the many products raised in the 
valley. He had read all this in the literature, but 
knowing the world pretty well, knew that what the 
Arizona people wanted was the investment of his 
money. He did not doubt their honesty, but he knew 
the vision of the immigration agent is sometimes dis- 
torted. He wanted to know what others, who had 
been enticed to Phoenix before him. had to say about 
it. And what they said fully verified what he had 
read. In the afternoon he climbed the court house 
tower where he secured a panoramic view of the 
valley. Spread around him lay a modern city of 
18,000 inhabitants, and beyond, stretching away over 
on area of 100,000 acres were green fields, comfort- 
able farm houses and miles of tree-lined country 
roads, a community that, with Phoenix for its center, 
numbers approximately 23.000 pe«ple, served by the 
Phoenix postoflice and its 100 miles of rural routes. 
Northwest some ten or twelve miles, are Glendale 
and Peoria and sourrounding farms, numbering sev- 
eral hundieds of inhabitants. To the east, and 
across and up .Salt River, beyond the line of vision, 
lay Tempe and Mesa, nine and seventeen miles away, 
respectively, the commercial centers of another 100.- 
000 acres of land, equally as rich and as well suited 
for agriculture as that before him. 

THE VALLEY A PARALLELOGRAM 

Jaeob Harris noted that the general form of the 
valley is a parallelogram, averaging 20 miles wide 
and 40 miles long, hedged in by mountain ranges 
that rise abruptly from the valley plain. Entering 
at the northeast corner, where the Granite Reef 
Diversion Dam is located, .Salt River winds sinuously 
in a generally direct course to the southwest corner 
of the valley, and thence onward 100 miles further 
to its junction with the Colorado. Crossing the 
valley diagonally, the river leaves Phoenix, Scotts- 
dale, Alhambra, Glendale and Peoria, on what is 
known locally as the •'north side," and Tempe, Mesa, 
and surrounding lands on the "south side." Looking 
toward the site of the Granite Reef Dam again, 
twenty-three miles away, he learned that fifty miles 
further up the river, through an impassable canyon, 
is the site of the Roosevelt Storage Dam, now nearly 
complete, at the junction of Tonto Creek and Salt 
River. This dam will form a storage basin, making 
the largest artificial lake in the world. 

It would take too long: to tell what Mr. Harris saw 
in the foreground — the city of Phoenix. It is all told 
in the literature of The Phoenix Board of Trade & 
County Immigration Commissioner, which is sup- 
plied for the asking. The story is of a modern city 
of brick houses, churches, schools, railroads, parks, 
the territorial capitol, and all public utilities. Mr. 
Harris returned to the hotel, tired and hungry, his 
head already crammed with information that was 
rolling in on him like a tidal wave. At the hotel 
that evening he met an engineer of the reclamation 
service. Before he knew it, he was listening to an 
outline of the reclamation plan and irrigation system. 

Jacob Harris went to bed also, impressed but still 
doubtful. He wanted to see some of that "desert" 
land. This was all "town talk" and it seemed too

Arizona Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



good to be truf He yearned to hear an inharmoni- 
ous chord and even a "knocker" would have been 
welcomed. 

Early next morning: he was whirling away in an 
automobile with the realty agent. They passed 
the seven fine brick school buildings in Phoenix and 
the territorial capitol costing !)!130,000, without suspi- 
cion of a penny of graft, standing in the midst of a 
beautiful park of green lawns and thousands of vari- 
eties of shrubbery. Continuing, they speed through 
the residence sections of the city, fronted by at- 
tractive street parks, and then — to the country. Out 
Grand Avenue a mile and a half they came to the 
Territorial Fair Grounds, where three annual exhi- 
bitions had been given, equal to the big eastern state 
fairs. The corporation has a balance in the treasury 
and the best mile track west of Memphis. They 
traveled straight west ten miles, passing small 
ostrich farms, finally arriving at the largest one in 
the United States, containing about l.itOO acres, 
where hundreds of these valuable birds are grazing 
in alfalfa pastures. Mr. Harris learned that the val- 
ley has three-fourths of all the ostriches in America 
and they are money makers. 

THE SUGAR-BEET DISTRICT 

Seven miles north found them in the Glendale- 
Peoria country, as rich a sugar-beet and general 
farming soil as can be had anywhere. Half of it is 
cultivated; all will be soon. Thence east through 
the town of Glendale and on to the big mill of 
the Arizona Sugar Company, that cost approximately 
a million dollars to build. Straight east, for six 
miles more, the party traveled through equally as 
rich a country until Central Avenue was reached, 
that being a boulevard that runs ten miles due north 
from Phoenix to the Arizona Canal. Down the avenue 
with orchards, grain fields and farm homes all 
around. Three miles from Phoenix they arrived at 
the government Indian school, a collection of fine 
buildings that would put many state universities to 
shame, where are being fed. clothed and educated in 
grammar courses and manual training, a thousand 
native children. From this point the auto turned 
east for seven miles, throu.gh farms and orchards to 
the heart of the orange belt. 

Thence the machine was headed for the "south 
side," crossing the river at Tempe, a beautiful city 
of l..")00 inhabitants, with the territory's chief normal 
school and grammar and high schools. Adjacent is 
the Lily Brand condensed milk factory, affording a 
fine market for dairymen. Six miles east of Tempe 
is the town of Mesa, with about the same population, 
also with fine homes, stores, banks, churches, schools, 
and high school, creamery, vineyards, orchards, etc. 
Lying directly south of a line through Teinpe and 
Mesa is an agricultural area ten miles square, all 
titled land, and as good as any in the valley, 
but only partly in cultivation, for want of sufficient 
settlers. Its possibilities are everything agricultural 
and horticultural and the prices are lower, as it is 
the latest section of the valley to be settled. 

After a ten-mile spin through that region, the 
machine went flying Phoenixward, the most notable 
institution passed on the way being the territorial 
asylum for the insane, three miles from Phoenix. 
After traveling through seventy miles of orchards of 
citrus and deciduous fruits, olives, alfalfa pastures, 
oat, barley and wheat fields, corn, sorghum, can- 
taloupes, watennelons and other acreage crops, straw- 
berries and truck gardens, by country and city 
creameries and public institutions, Mr. Harris was 
set down at his hotel. 

He had marveled from the first at all the good 
things he saw. but the question on his mind was: 
"What is there for the poor man and where will 
he find his 'desert' land for homesteading?" Long 
before his trip was over he learned that there is no 
"desert" land as the easterner speaks of it, and no 
possibilities for homesteading within the reservoir 
district, but that there is plenty of titled land, un- 
improved, at .$.50 an acre. It is not a "cheapland" 
country, except relatively speaking, but it is a "good- 
land" country whose produce pays interest and big 
profits on a high valuation. He was reminded that 
half the ranches iie had passed had from 100 to 300 
acres in them, and he needed no telling that twenty 



acies is ample for any man to farm who does his 
own work. The secret of it is that the Government 
builds reservoirs for settlers, not for speculators. 
The poor man's opportunity is to buy a farm from 
the excess holdings of some earlier settler, in an ideal 
climate and community, with the advantages of the 
most modern and comfortable surroundings, and take 
up life not as a pioneer but as a country gentleman, 
moderately well-to-do and independent. 

Jacob Harris is now an enthusiastic Salt River 
Valley rancher and can testify that he did not come 
here on a "fool's errand." 

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH $2,000 

By J. W. Spear. 

The man with $2,000 can do any one of a lone list 
of things which, with ordinary fortune and judgment, 
will return much more than interest. It is assumed 
that the question is asked in behalf of those who 
have no remunerative occupation, and with their 
capital propose to be independent, thus narrowing it 
to an agricultural proposition. 

Good land costs from .$"."> to .$2.50, including irriga- 
tion water. .\ssume the middle ground of $100 pep 
acre. Buy fifteen acres. Pay for it .$1,000 cash and 
mortgage for the rest, placing the other .$1,000 in the 
bank to draw upon for the first year's support and foi 
necessary equipment. Utilize credit as far as possible 
with safety and assurance of meeting obligations. 
Begin in the fall Build a small, comfortable house 
until able to build a better one — say a .$400 mansion, 
unless you are single, then live in a tent. Some 
credit could be secured on the house. Procure team 
wagon, plow, and other needfuls. Establish an ac- 
count at the grocery store. Plant almost anything 
you like that will grow in the latitudes between Mil- 
waukee and New Orleans, preferably, for early 
revenue, truck, etc. Later you may decide that a 
ten-acre orange orchard is what you want with five 
acres of truck; hut as it takes six or eight vears 
for oranges to make returns of consequence, aiid in 
the interiin only the space between rows can be 
Utilized, wait for oranges until you have more money. 

A LITTLE LAND WELL TILLED 

Put five acres into deciduous fruits of various 
kinds. In the months that follow plant between 
trees for a year or so, vegetables for family use and 
market. Later do not use for other things soil vi- 
tality that belongs to the trees. Plant an acre of 
strawberries. There will be some return the first 
year, a big yield the next. An acre of asparagus 
will be a money-maker if you know how. James 
Davis, of Mesa City, made $60 on one-eighth acre of 
green peas, marketing them in February. He says he 
can raise beets the year round, returning $400 per 
acre at from 1 cent to 3 cents per pound. He realized 
$130 from one-quarter acre Irish potatoes, an excep- 
tional result; but he knows the truck business. 

Put in two aeres of alfalfa for the horses. You still 
have about five acres for cantaloupes. Plant in 
March, harvest during July. Many small patches 
have returned net, except for owner's labor, $200 
per acre; some more than $300. Plant sorghum or 
some other crop to follow cantaloupes. One inan 
handles five acres of cantaloupes; but fifteen acres 
intensively farmed will require some help. It might 
be better to try fewer crops and more acreage to 
each at first; but the small farm must be diversified 
and worked intensively. The farmer must work hard 
and live economically until he has paid out. In this 
climate he can work 365 days annually. Keep 
chickens. H. B. Lehman, of Glendale. deals in them 
almost exclusively. Returns last year were .$2.2.54, 
less $890 expenses, net, $1,364. Five acres would 
make a splendid chicken ranch. A few hundred dol- 
lars would stock it. 

Some liave started by renting land for the canta- 
loupe season at $10 to $15 per acre. That only re- 
quires cost of living while making the crop, but the 
renter is not building his own home place, though 
experience ipay he worth the delay. 

It is an ideal ooiintr.v for the apiary, poultry, vege- 
tables, and for small fruits on a $2,000 basis. With 
more money there is a much wider field.

General Description of Arkansas 
Future of the State 

A Portion of the United States Just Awakening to Its Natural Advantag:es. 



This State belongs to the great basin of the 
Mississippi Valley. I'aits of the Eastern portion, 
bordering on the Mississippi, are low, swampy and 
are annually overflowed, but westward the country 
gradually attains a higher elevation, passing off 
into the hills which' lead up to the Ozark Mountains. 

While subject to sudden changes, the climate, as 
a whole, is exceedingl.v delightful. Examination of 
any map showing water courses will reveal hun- 
dreds of streams in the State, the ma.jority of which 
can supply power for manufacturing;. 

The Arkansas, Red, White, and Black Rivers, 
each hundreds of miles in length, all aid in giving 
the State more interior water navigation than any 
State in the Union, besides over 4,000 miles of 
railr^ds. And yet, with these natural advantages, 
the State has been slow in development largely 
because this is a lieavily timbered State and also 
because the old settlers, having Jittle ambition, 
have been willing to let things jog along in the 
same old rut. 

Their desires have been few and they have had 
all they wanted. With soil and climate good to 
them, it has been easy to get enough and they 
have rested content. They have heard no call to 
new life and have not waked up to new conditions. 

Three-fifths of the State still has its forest cov- 
ering, and nearly all this is commercial timber, for 
which there is an increasing demand at a good 
price, there being some sixt.v varieties of trees 
within the boundaries of the State. 

Back from the •Mississippi for a distance of 25 
and GO miles is a belt of hardwood. In the southern 
part of the State spreads a broad area of pine. 

GREAT WEALTH IN TIMBER. 

With lumber increasing in value every year it is 
impossible to estimate the great wealth of Arkansas 
in timber. In one of the late years more than 
$25,000,000 worth of lumber was shipped out of 
the Stat', much of it going to furniture and wagon 
works in the central states. 

It is estimated that of standing pine in the 
State, there are .50,000,000,000 feet, and of hard- 
woods sufficient to supply all the furniture, wagon, 
automobile and piano factories in the United States 
for the next twenty years. 

W'ith limited transportation service in the State, 
until recently, it was natural that the timber should 
remain untouched, and here it is now in readi- 
ness for export at a good price. But, better yet, 
to be cut and used in local factories, giving em- 
ployment to tens of thousands of workmen who may 
become residents of the State. 

Today Arkansas is an ideal State for enterprising 
lumbermen and for all kinds of factories, the prod- 
ucts of which are made from hardwoods. 



NATURAL COTTON FIELD. 

But not alone in timber is the State blessed. 
One-half of the tillable land In the State is es- 
pecially adapted to the growing of cotton, and one- 
tenth of America's cotton is already produced in 
this State. 

The adaptability of this soil to cotton growing is 
shown in the fact that the average yield per acre of 
seed cotton, upon the uplands here, is 500 and SOO 
ixjunds, and from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds on the 
bottom lands. 

Of the more than 1,000,000 bales produced in this 
State yearly, only a small fraction, up to the 
present time, is manufactured into goods in this 
State. This cotton, at large expense, is shipped to 
New England, to Europe, and to all cotWan markets 
of the world, and this too, while the rapid running 
streams of Arkansas are full of power which would 
convert this cotton into the manufactured product 
at great profit. 

Enterprising cotton manufacturers are invited to 
investigate the advantages offered by this State in 
the production of cotton goods. 

But Cotton and Wool-growing and the Dairy are 
not the only raw materials waiting for factoiies. 
This is a glorious country for sheep. 

A large share of the State seems especially made 
for sheep growers. No hot suminers to exhaust the 
vitality of the flock, and no cold winters to destroy 
the animals. No blizzards at lambing time to pre- 
vent the increase, and no drouths to cut oft feed in 
the summer time. 

Being the natural field for the wool-grower, this 
should be a center for the woolen industry, and 
what is said here of sheep may be said of the 
Angora goat. With a sunshine climate, with a 
highly fertile soil, with exemption from drouth, 
throu.gh 53 inches of rainfall every year, causing 
an abundance of pasturage, goats, sheep, and all 
kinds of stock become a source of large profit to 
stockmen. 

No better region can be found than this for the 
dairy business. With an abundance of pure run- 
ning water, luxuriant grasses, a mild climate, here 
are all the essentials for the successful dairyman. 

FOUNDATION FOB GREAT WEALTH 

Overlooking Best Opportunities. That the founda- 
tion for .great wealth is here is shown in the fact 
that of 28,000.000 acres of arable area in the State, 
only about 5,000,000 acres are under cultivation. 

The truth is that land-seekers, overlooking the 
rich opportunities that lie in this State, have floated 
by to other regions where land speculators were 
holding out brilliant inducements to new settlers. 
During all this rush for the West, these fertile Ar- 



Arkansas Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



kaiisas lands have remained right here biding their 
time, the forests improving in tlie meantime, the 
acres in the mineral lands advancing in value, and 
the State as a whole, getting ready to join the 
grand march in the great industrial advance now 
beginning to sweep over the Southwest. 

The land-seeker, becoming interested, will natur- 
ally ask the price of land, a question not easily 
answered to the satisfaction of the enquirer. 

Price usually depends upon the production and 
rental value of a property. Thus, land at $150 an 
acre, in soine localities may be cheaper than land at 
$1.50 an acre at other points. 

What can be produced on the land? Where can 
the produce be sold? What price, and what profit 
can be realized? What are the prospects for future 
growth in values? All these are determining factors. 

We can only give a general outline of the advan- 
tages of a region and suggest that the land-seeker 
investigate for himself. 

In the search for good opportunities to engage in 
agriculture, fruit growing, stock raising, mining or 
manufacturing, the land-seeker will find the advan- 
tages offered by this region are superior, and that 
Arkansas lands are cheap, very cheap, because there 
is more land here than people. 

VALUE OF LANDS. 

B.v reference to our map and table of counties, the 
position of every region and county in the State, 
herewith described, can be readily understood. 

Thus, in Crawford County, the soil of which is 
adapted to the growth of the peach and the grape, 
seventy-five per cent of the acreage is yet covered 
with timber; while the southern part of this county 
is underlaid with coal. Prices: Wild land, $3 to $6 
per acre; improved farms, $30 to $150 per acre. 

It should be understood the wild lands are usually 
covered with forest, the timber on which will pay, 
and frequently much more than pay, for clearing 
the land. 

Washington County, an upland region, elevated 
1.500 feet, is the land of the big red apple. An 
Italian Colony came in here a few years ago, ab- 
solutely almost penniless, and in six years they 
owned 2,300 acres of land, were out of debt and 
have their land under a high state of cultivation. 
Wild land is 5'et low in price in this County. 

Benton County, the center of the Ozark apple 
region, reaps an annual income of $1,000,000 from 
3,000,000 of apple trees in the county. 

The county is in a very high state of cultivation, 
fruit raising and general farming being the rule. 
Improved land here is worth from $40 to $200 per 
acre. Unimproved land is worth from $6 to $12 per 
acre. 

Madison Count.v, Ozark Mountain region. Re- 
sources: Fruit, iron, lead, zinc, asphaltum and fine 
quarries of marble. Fine orchard lands low in price 
here.

Hot Springs is not only the most widely known 
city in Arkansas, but it has an international reputa- 
tion. Its visitors come from all countries and all 
conditions of life. The United States government 
has proven its faith in the curative powers of its 
waters by its ownership and control of the springs. 
The hotels are equal to those of Chicago and New 
York. 

The water from the springs, with a daily flow of 

over 800.000 gallons, is not only used for baths, but it 
is delicious to drink. .\ large number of complaints 
have yielded to its power. 

Hot Springs has a hotel capacity of 20,000, and 

there is never a season that it is not filled. With 
its twenty-three bath houses and its ninety-five 
doctors, it is pre-eminently a Sanitorium. Never- 
theless, out of its fifty thousand annual visitors, a 
large proportion consists of people who have come 
solely on account of the climate, and the opportunities 
to have a good time. The death rate is low — 6.11 
per thousand for residents and for visitors 1.32. 
Total 7.43. Minus the decimals. New York stands at 
25, Boston 21, Philadelphia 17, Chicago 19, Los 
Angeles 10. 

Hot Springs has two banks, two daily papers, 
nineteen churches, fifteen schools, twelve livery sta- 
bles, water works, electric and gas light, electric 
street railway, fire department, local and long dis- 
tance telephone system. New York, Chicago and New 
Orleans market reports by direct wire, police system, 
an athletic arena and baseball park, and one of the 
finest mile racing tracks in Am'erica. 

If a business trip to Arkansas, for a personal in- 
vestigation of opportunities herein set forth, is being 
planned. Hot Springs should by all means be included 
in the itinerary. 

With the vast concourse of capitalists who make 
this their yearly playground, from which prospect- 
ing expeditions are made, there is perhaps no point 
in Arkansas which affords a better opening for a 
real estate business, covering a list of properties 
embracing every section of the state. 

4rea of State. Length, north and south, 240 
miles; average breadth, 228 miles. Length of State 
on Mississippi River, from 300 to 360 miles.

perature throughout the year, 62.2 degrees. January

year.

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



Divergity of industries. The state of Californi* 
770 miles long and 37."; miles wide, is a region es- 
pecially interesting to the land seeker. It is a land 
of opportunity. The adventurer here may engage 
in a variety of enterprises, with prospects of success. 

Mining' for gold and silver has been and yet is 
a most profitablevbgkqcjmfwypvbgkq.icmfwypvbgk 
are in operation in San Bernardino, Inyo. Mono and 
other counties, while the vast mountain ranges, ex- 
tending throughout the length of the state, contain 
great quantities of mineral yet to be discovered. 

FRUIT GROWING AND GENERAL FARMING. 

Wheat raising employs large numbers of work- 
men. Fruit growing is rapidly developing. The 
refining of petioleum and its conversion into fine 
oils will be an immense enterprise in future years. 

Tlie rlimate of California is favorable for grape 
growing and the manufacture of a favorite wine 
of world wide reputation. The installation of great 
irrigation works will call for the service of multi- 
tudes of men. The development of power for man- 
ufacturing, transportation, heating and lighting from 
the immense water-power now going to waste will 
come forward soon. The utilization of the vast as- 
phaltum beds for road making is close at hand. 

Tlie fisheries, sugar making, poultry growing, 
dairying, lumbering, seed growing, furniture mak- 
ing and other industries are all just on the verge 
of unlimited development. 

NEWCOMER MAY TAKE HIS CHOICE. 

Here is the raw material in wonderful abundance. 
It is only for the newcomer to make his selection of 
what he will do. The Panama canal in a few years 
will be open. It will then be simply a matter of 
loading the vessel at a Pacific seaport, and in a few 
weeks the California product will be landed at any 
Atlantic city, at any European market or at any 
city in the Asiatics. 

The land seeker may come, if most convenient, 
on either the Santa Fe or Southern Pacific railways 
into California and begin investigation at San Diego, 
in San Diego, County. 

STATE YET THINLY POPULATED. 

In this immense state, three times as large as 
New York, there are not as many people as in the 
single city of Chicago. 

It takes but a little time to become impressed 
with the vast possibilities of California. Thirty 
million acres here are in forest. Much of this being 
covered by the famous red woods of such immense 
size as to give a million feet of lumber to the acre. 

So abundant is this timber and so prolific in great 
trees as to cause the government to put ten million 



acres of this timber area into national parks, leav- 
ing yet enough for manufacturing and export for 
generations to come. 

It only wants a very brief time in consideration 
to note the future probabilities of California. Here 
is a state with an area sufficiently large to permit 
the residence of fifty millions of people within its 
borders; here is soil for growth of grain, vegetables 
and frviits; here are mountain streams for irriga- 
tion and power for manufacturing: here are mild 
temperature and sunshine; here are metals, marbles, 
oils and all the essentials for production of food, 
building, raiment and furnishings. 

TO BE A GREAT ]\L4NUFACTURING CENTER. 

Here is enough of raw material to put many mil- 
lion at work and the transportation facilities to 
carry the products of these many millions to all 
parts of the world. 

The average rainfall ranges from ten to twenty 
inches in northern California and is less in the 
southern part of the state, but artesian wells and 
irrigation are expected to give a sufiiciency of mois- 
ture for crop raising. 

The mild weather of the winters in southern Cali- 
fornia is attracting a larger and a larger number 
of residents to Los Angeles, San Diego and other 
southern California cities every year, the conse- 
quence being a steady advance in real estate values, 
particularly in the suburbs of these cities. 

AGRICULTURISTS AND HORTICULTURISTS. 

To land seekers wishing to engage in agriculture 
or horticulture it will be interesting to know that 
in 1!107 there were over 30,000,000 acres of govern- 
ment land in California yet open for homestead 
settlement. 

To investigate farming or to engage in fruit 
raising it is well to go out to Bakersfield in Kern 
county and follow down the San Joaquin valley 
northward to San Francisco, stopping from time 
to time at the various towns on the way while pass- 
ing through Tulaip. Kings, Fresno, Mercer and other 
counties in the San Joaquin valley. 

This valley contains upward of 30,000 square miles, 
being nearly four times the size of Massachusetts. 
There are a dozen counties in this valley, but if the 
seeker for land can go no farther he should go into 
Kern, Tulare, Kings and Fresno counties at least. 

Three thousand oil wells are in Kern county and 
in this county can be seen the operation of one of 
the California irrigation systems. 

The great fruit orchards will interest the visitor 
in Tulare county.

California Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



COSX or PLANTING FRUIT ORCHARDS. 

Fruit land here costs from $50 to $75 per acre. 
The cost of preparation of the land and planting 
trees (apples, peaches or prunes) amounts to $2,i 
per acre of seventy-five trees. They come into 
bearing on the average on the fifth year. Four 
years care will cost about $24 an acre for this 
period. Counting interest on the investment and in- 
cidentals, by the time the fruit orchard comes into 
bearing the cost in this locality is $160 per acre. 

The crop of prunes, at three cents a pound, will 
yield $1.".0 per acre. Deducting $15 per acre for 
drying, $10 per acre for interest and $12 per acre 
for care and the net return is $112 per acre. 

Thus, suppose a person were to buy and put in ten 
acres of prunes, the profits per year, after the crop 
came into bearing, would be $1,120 per year. 

The returns would be the same for peaches or ap- 
ples. Various fruit j^nd land companies in Tulare 
county who capitalized their lands at $200 an acre 
have paid profits of from 27 to to 38 '/a per cent. 

There are 7,500 acres under cultivation in citrus 
fruits in Tulare county, with an output of 30,000,000 
pounds a year, more than half of which are dried. 

PICKING AND PACKING FRUIT. 

The picking, packing, drying and canning of the 
crop calls for the services of some 4,000 people, 
mostly boys and uomen. Everybody in the county 
works while the rush is on. Girls in the packing 
houses and canneries make from $1 to $1.75 per day 
and boys, by whom most of the picking is done, 
make froni $1.50 to $2.50 per day. 

Orange land may be had at $25 to $100 per acre, 
the price depending upon whether the land is ready 
for use or must be developed by the purchaser. An 
orchard four years old begins to bear. The profits 
run from $125 to $200 per acre when in full bearing. 

Raisins are also an important product of Tulart 
county. When in full bearing, at si.x and seven 
years, the yield is from a ton to a ton and a half 
per acre, and the returns, when the market is nor- 
mal, average around $100 per acre. Raisin land in 
this district may be had at from $30 to $50 per acre. 

PRODUCTS OF FRESNO COUNTY. 

Fresno is a fine county containing 5.600 square 
miles, being larger than the state of Connecticut, 
and has a population of only about 41,000, of which 
nearly half live in Fresno city. 

The rainfall here is about ten inches a year. 

Fresno county produces annually two or three 
million bushels of wheat, besides other, grains, ten 
or fifteen million pounds of wool, a million dollars' 
worth of deciduous fruit, four or five million pounds 
of figs, hundreds of car loads of raisins and a mil- 
lion dollars' worth of wine. One creamery in Fresno 
(and there are six) produces 6.000 pounds of butter 
a day. These are but a fraction of the total product. 

Good raisin land may be had in Fresno county 
for $3.) an acre and upward. The returns are es- 
timated at $,S0 and $100 per acre. Figs pay $2.">o 
to $275 per acre. 

UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES. 

The entire state of California is a land of bound- 
less possibilities. The southern counties, including 
San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San 
Bernardino counties, send 30,000 cars of oranges to 
eastern markets everj season and the growers make 
a profit of $250 to $400 an acre. 

There are broad ranges of land yet in southern 
California devoted to dry ranching, where thou- 
sands of acres are plowed with steam plows and 
wheat is harvested with great combination headers 
and threshers. This land, it is expected, will later, 
as the county settles up. come into fruit raising with 
greater profit.

being 51 miles from San Francisco. 

The Yosemite valley, Mariposa county, containing 
six square miles shut in by sheer walls from 3,000 
to 5,000 feet high. 

Near this valley are the big redwood trees in 
Calaveras and Mariposa counties. The Yosemite 
lies eastward of San Francisco some over one hun- 
dred miles. 

The guide books mention many other very inter- 
esting places to visit in California. 

Petrified Forest, Cal. About 80 miles from San 
Francisco, in the Napa Valley, in the vicinity of 
Calistoga, is situated the Petrified Forest, one of the 
most remarkable of wonders in California. Within 
a tract of 3 or 4 square miles, the tourist finds por- 
tions of nearly 100 trees turned to stone. Some pro- 
ject from the sides of the mountains, while others are 
found upon the surface. Their condition is attributed 
to the action of silica held in solution in the hot alk- 
aline water discharged by the neighboring Mount St. 
Helena. 

California Big Trees. Forty-seven miles from 
Milton Station, on the Stockton and Copperopolis 
(Cala.) Railway, the tourist comes upon the Cala- 
veras Big Trees, the highest of which tapers upward 
a distance of 435 feet, and has a circumference, near 
the ground, of 110 feet, while another, forty miles 
from Visalia, on King's River, measures 44 feet in 
diameter. This is the largest in California. The 
Mariposa group of forest giants comprises 600 trees, 
125 of which are each over 13 feet thick, while sev- 
eral are from 30 to 33 feet in diameter. One, re- 
markable for its grand dimensions, rises to a height 
of 90 feet and there throws out a limb having a 
thickness of six feet. The route to the Yosemite 
Valley passes near these monsters. 

Calistoga, Cal. Encircled by wooded hills and 
mountains, in a small valley, is situated this Pacific 
Coast resort, which is principally distinguished for 
its twenty hot springs, with conveniences for enjoy- 
ing chemical, steam, vapor, or cold and hot water 
baths, and cottages and hotels for visitors. Among 
other attractions is the public warm plunge and 
swimming bath, occupying a space of forty feet 
square. The waters of the springs are freely impreg- 
nated with magnesia, sulphur and iron. The sur- 
rounding scenory embraces mountains, lawns, fields 
of grain, bowers, cosy dwellings, etc. 

The Yosemite Valley. Reached by four stage 
routes. Situated on the Merced River, Mariposa 
County, Cal., 220 miles (by road) from San Fran- 
cisco. The Valley contains a level plateau about 6 
miles long and from % to 1 mile wide, and is sur- 
rounded by granite cliffs, rising almost perpendicular- 
ly to a height varying from 3.000 to 6.000 feet. From 
the tops of these cliffs spring magnificent and beauti- 
ful cataracts. All through the valley fiowers abound, 
relieved with plants and shrubs, and their varied 
hues and odors are delightful to the senses. The 
valley has been known since 1851, and is the prop- 
erty of the State, set apart for a public resort. The 
name Yosemite, given to it by the Indians, means 
"Large Grizzlv Bear." "El Capitan" is a solitary 
stone pillar, with a perpendicular elevation of 3.30O 
feet. The "Bridal Veil," a cataract of great beauty, 
falls over a cliff 900 feet high. Opposite to it is "The 
Virgin's Tears Creek," with a fall of 1,000 feet. 
"Cathedral Rock" is a granite pile, 2.660 feet high. 
"The Spires" are two graceful columns. "The Three 
Brothers" is a triplet group of rocks, the highest 
peak of which rises 3,830 feet. "Sentinel Rock" is 
3.043 feet high. "The Yosemite Falls" is a grand 
piece of scenery, broken into cascades, the first hav- 
ing a fall of 1,500 feet; then shorter ones to a depth 
of 626 feet, and finally a plunge of 400 feet into the 
valley East of the Falls is a bold peak, rising 3,030 
feet "above the valley. The "Half Dome," in the 
vicinity, is a granite crest risin.g nearly 5.000 feit 
above the vallev. "North Dome" is 3,568 feet high. 
"Vernal Fall" descends about 400 feet. The "Cap of 
Liberty " a huge mass of rock, is 2.000 feet high. 
"Nevada Fall" is nearly 600 feet high. The views 
from the various points of the valley reached by 
travelers are among the sublimest in the world.

A YOUNG STATE — A MOST INTERESTING STATE OF GRE.AT POSSIBIIvITIES IN MINING, 
AGRICULTURE, PLEASURE AND HEALTH RESORTS. 



For wild picturesque scenery in a State more than 
three times the size of New York, where mountain 
elevations are more than 14,000 feet high, where 500 
lakes and 6,000 miles of trout streams afEord oppor- 
tunity for fishing, where panthers, grizzl.v bears, wild 
cats, wolves, foxes, badgers, beavers, antelope, ducks, 
geese, rabbits, squirrels, doves, and inountain quail 
make opportunity for hunting, where 340 sunshin.v 
days in the year make an atmosphere so clear that 
objects can be seen one hundred miles away, where 
on the broad mesas and elevated plateaus the life- 
gi^ing air is so full of ozone as to make the whole 
region one grand sanitarium; where there are 
12,000 miles of irrigating- ditches which water 



4,000,000 acres, 2,000,000 of which are under cultiva- 
tion; where there are yet over 26,000,000 acres of 
government land ready for homestead settlement — 
wanting to investigate all this, and a good deal more, 
the land seeker maj- look up a railroad guide and 
learn that a two thousand mile ride from the Atlantic 
cities, and a thousand-mile journey from the central 
cities of the I'nited States will take him into the 
center of this State, and to the capital of Colorado, 
where the rocks, the mines, the cascades, the tunnels 
and the singular freaks of nature will be found to 
have surpassed any description we can give of the 
State. 



A LONG, DREARY RIDE. 



Going westward from the Central States it may 
seem a dreary lide across the prairie and desert 
regions before reaching the destination, but all at 
once he will be surprised by entry into one of the 
most beautiful cities in the world, and the surprise is 
all the greater when it is known that the State has 
been settled but fifty years and came into the Union 
only about thirty years ago. 

The Capitol Cit.v of this young State is Denver, 
named from Gen. James W. Denver, a former gov- 
ernor of Kansas Territory, of which Colorado was 
then a pa It. 

F.\CTS ABOUT DENVER. 

Here are some facts about Denver. It has a popula- 
tion of 214.0(10; is located ."i.2(IO feet above sea level; 
has 15.^ miles of street car lines; l.")5 churches; 73 
public school buildings; 11 colleges and academies; 
a public library containing 7.5,000 volumes; 4 daily 
papers; 20 clubs; 23 hospitals and asylums; ."> na- 
tional banks; 11 parks, one of them covering 330 
acres; 7 theaters: 2 summer gardens, and many fine 
hotels. 

An excellent way to see Denver is by "Seeing 
Denver" cars and automobiles, which make the cir- 
cuit of the city several times each day during the 
summer season. 

These cars leave from central points and take one 



not only through the city itself but through the 
suburbs. 

CANNOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS SUBJECT. 

It is impossible in our sketch to enumerate the 
many interesting places to visit in Colorado, and it is 
equally difficult to describe the general appearance 
of the region. One writer says: 

"The Bock.v Mountains, in their majestic sweep 
through the North .American continent, culminate 
midway in their course, and within the limits of the 
State of Colorado. Here is the 'crest of the continent' 
— its supremest uplift — where from a vast central 
plateau, itself 6,000 feet above the sea, rise hundreds 
of granite peaks into the regions of perpetual snow. 
Here the waters of a continent are divided and great 
rivers flowing to either ocean have their source. 
Here are canons and gorges, aweinspiring and stu- 
pendous, which testify to the hoary age of the moun- 
tains they cut asunder; and a score of peak- 
encircled parks; any one of which might constitute 
a principality. 

"Here are the continent's treasure vaults, where 
vein? of gold and silver seam the granite mountains. 

"Here are medicinal springs for healing and re- 
freshment; and here, under skies of deepest blue, lies 
a sun-bathed land with a climate whose delights and 
perf<»otions the lowland dweller may not know."

Colorado Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



UNABLE TO DESCRIBE ALL. 

But omitting descriptions of many interesting places 
we note two points: Colorado Springs and Manitou. 
The first with a population of 25,01)0 people, the last 
with half that number in the tourist season. 

Colorado Springs is a resting spot for people who 
enjoy climate and scenery. It has broad streets and 
many beautiful homes. It is the quiet meeting place 
for the successful miner who comes down from the 
mountains to greet his friends from the East. It is 
the delightful rendezvous of wealth.v cattle raiser, 
the rich tourist, and the invalid who has been in- 
structed to go somewhere into sunshine and take up 
residence in pure invigorating air. 

But a shoit distance away is Manitou, the "Sara- 
toga of the West.". 

Nestling right here at the foot of Pike's Peak, in 
a charmin.g valley through which runs a rapid stream 
at all seasons is this town, filled with tourists 
throughout the summer season. 

There are fourteen springs in all, no two of them 
alike, and cne of them the largest known soda spring 
in the world. 

Five large hotels, several smaller ones, and many 
boarding-houses, here are filled to their utmost ca- 
pacity during the summer. 

OPPORTUNITIES FOB PERMANENT SETTLERS. 

But leaving the watering places and pleasure re- 
sorts for the enjoyment of those who are tem- 
porarily in the State, we will examine the induce- 
ments that offer new settlers in Colorado. 

Wherever there are mountains there are valleys 
between, and many of these in Colorado include broad 
plateaus, and nowhere in the United States is there 
better opportunity for the study of irrigation and its 
effects on crops than in this State. 

To the American farmer irrigation is almost a new 
thing. There has never been any necessity for him 
to consider it in the wonderful growth of this repub- 
lic He has in his achievements, up to the present 
time, been independent of all things artificial in his 
work upon the virgin soil he plowed, and has been 
content with the timely rains that fell upon it. 

But with the rapid spread of population much arid 
soil is found which can only be made habitable by 
artificial water supply. 

ORIGINATORS OF IRRIGATION IN THIS REGION. 

The Mormons were the first to intelligentl.v apply 
irrigation in the territory now occupied by the United 
States. They had come far away from civilization at 
the East and settled in a region so hopelessly arid 
thai it was a certainty no one could ever molest them 
there. But in order to live they must have moisture 
for their fields. They brought it from the mountain 
streams then running to waste, and the fertile fields 
of Utah testify to the worth of irrigation. 

The next experiment, on a considerable scale, was 
at Greeley, Colorado. There the fanners, through 
much costly experience, have finally triumphed over 
sand and sage, rock and alkali, reclaimed the wnste 
land, and made a model fruit and farm land, which 
has taught important lessons to others in the recla- 
mation of arid land in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona 
and California. AVe explain this elsewhere. 

Like the annual overflow of the river Nile which 
enriches the Egyptian valleys, so the life-giving ele- 
ments in irrigatng water is of itself an important 
means of fertilization. 

A striking illustration of the effect of irrigation is 
shown in the valley of the Arkansas river in Prowers, 
Bent, and Otero counties, a region where formerly 
there was only alkali, sage brush and sand. To wit- 
ness this go southward from Colorado Springs forty 
miles to Pueblo, th?nee east about TOO miles. Some- 
body turned the waters of the Arkansas into the river 
valley in the vicinity of Rockyford. Otero County, 
and, behold, that barren valley became a garden 
spot where land yields fiO bushels of wheat to the 
acre, 6 tons of alfalfa to the acre, '25 tons of sugar 
beets, and 300 bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre. 

ORIGIN OF THE ROCKYFORD MELON. 

Here adjoining the Arkansas river, is the thriving 
young city of Rockyford, a town of 2,. 500 people, and 
here is the home of the original Rockyford canta- 
loupe, which ht.s an established reputation in all the 
markets of the country. 

It is here where orders are received for the Rocky- 
ford cantaloupe seed, the rich irrigated land here 
turning out in some cases 400 pounds of seed per acre. 

The merit of this melop !■■ that it always grows 



a uniform size, such that 45 melons can be packed in 
a standard crate 12x12x24. permitting dealers to 
make quotations nn Rockyfords, knowing the quality 
of the melon and the exact number in a crate. 

From this seed sent out it is estimated that there 
are now over 0(1,00(1 acres of Rockyford cantaloupes 
being cultivated and that there are 7,000 carloads 
consumed everj six months. 

MELONS AND SUGAR BEETS. 

But what can be said of the irrigated land in the 
Arkansas river valley in relation to melons may be 
said of sugar beets, cabbages, tomatoes, cucumbers, 
asparagus, parsr ;os, carrots, apples, plums, cherries, 
peaches and all the small fruits. 

In the purchase of farm property the land seeker 
will remember that price is measured generally 
by the capacity of land to yield money return. Thus, 
land at $2.50 and .$ij00 per acre may be cheap, depend- 
ing on improvements and profit to be obtained, while 
land at $5 per acre may be dear. 

Thus irrigated land in the vicinity of Rocky Ford 
is worth from $200 to !|;."iOO per acre, but equally as 
good land in this region may be bought at a price 
varying from $30 per acre upwards. 

Before leaving Colorado, the land seeker should 
return by way of Pueblo to Gunnison and thence to 
Montrose, in Montrose County. 

The United States Government is at work in Mont- 
rose and Delta counties, for the purpose of utilizing 
rivers in these counties which will irrigate 120,000 
acres of land. Irrigation projects by the government 
are also in contemplation in the vicinity of Green 
Junction, Mesa County, and along the White and 
Yampa Rivers in Routt and Rio Blanco Counties. 
See our mention of these elsewhere. 

The Montrose and Delta project is expected to cost 
about $3,. 500,000. 

People who are attracted by Colorado climate and 
wish to buy fertile land in this State will do well 
to go to Montrose and there study the prospects for 
new settlers in the Uncompatigre valley. 

Altitude. — Highest points, Feet: Sierra Blanca 
14,483. Pike's Peak, 14,271 and over forty mountains 
over 14,000 feet high.

Histor.v. — Colorado was partially explored by Lieut. 
Pike in 1806, and in 1810 by Col. Long, from whom 
Long's Peak is named. The American Fur Company 
followed in 1832 and Fremont in 1842-4. In 1854 
colonists founded Connejos in the Rio Grande valley. 
Gold discovered in the northern part of the State 
in 1858. In 1850 thrifty intelligent settlers came in. 
The Rock.v Mountain News was published. 

In 1861 the Territory of Colorado was established 
with 9 counties. Admitted to the Union in 1876 as 
"The Centennial State." 

Notable Places. — Denver, Manitou Springs, and over 
twenty points described in the guide books where 
there are famous mountain resorts, fine parks, hot 
springs, mineral and other springs. 

SPECIAL COLOR-4DO FEATURES OF INTEREST. 

John Sebastian, in behalf of the Rock Island, has 
lately issued a work on Colorado, from which we copy 
the following; 

COLORADO: WHY IT ATTR.\CTS. THE IDE.\L 
VAC.\TION-L.4ND. 

To an.v one who has not been to Colorado the 
fact that so many thousands of people do go each 
suminer for a period of rest or recreation must cer- 
tainly suggest that theie are strong reasons for it. 

One is at a loss to know where to begin in set- 
ting foith these reasons, for they are many and of 
equal importance. 

First of all, Colorado is a state so completely 
unlike the one in which you live that you must see 
it if you are to fully realize what a wonderful 
country is this of the Stars and Stripes. 

Colorado is a wide, free land of mountain 
heights and canon depths, of grassy plain and high 
plateau. It is a land of clear pure air and golden 
sunshine. It is a land of sparkling mountain 
streams and glassy-surfaced lakes. It is a land of 
many kinds of fish and fowl — wild animals roam 
the more inacccEsible portions of the mountain 
country, emergin.g even to the remote lower levels.

Colorado, a Most Interesting Region for Tourist and Traveler 



Should jou seek liealth, or rest, or sport, or 
any of the various forms of pleasure, ranging from 
restful enioyment to venturesome quest, Colorado 
will provide the one and the all, and of such a 
kind as to captivate and to bring you back another 
season to taste again the joys of the Rocky Moun- 
tain region. 

Colorado is pre-eminently the place to do 
thiiigrs, and to enjoy immensely the doing. There 
is not a dull moment in the program of the Color- 
ado visitor If one seeks the pleasure of gay com- 
pmy he may have it in abundance. If one seeks a 
quiet solitude in which to forget the whirl of busi- 
ness or of social life, and to get near to Nature in 
a mountain camp, then Colorado offers the Very best 
place to enjoy each form, of pastime. 

If one is not ready to relinquish the comforts 
and conveniences of city life. — lo! Colorado's eount- 
'ess resorts offer up-to-date hotels, or less pre- 
tentious stopping places, where every wish is grati- 
fied, withal at reasonable cost. 

A very important factor in Colorado's popular- 
ity is its central location and ready acceslbility 
•from any section of the country. 

There are one-night trains from Chicago, St. 
Louis and Kansas City, while the service from a 
score of other large cities in the middle west is 
equally good. And it is but a two-nights' trip 
from the Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky Moun- 
tains. 

With the double purpose of making it easy of 
reach for those of moderate purse and of making 
it the Mecca of the many, the custom is to grant 
throughout the summer, very low rates for the 
I'ound-trip to Colorado from all quarters. Fre- 
quently special excursions are arranged which bring 
the cost of the trip to a minimum. 

To him who would try Colorado for this sea- 
son's outing, the word is: watch the newspapers 
and the magazines for announcement of this sea- 
son's rates. It will pay to do so. Very favorable 
arrangements will be made to give you an oppor- 
tunity to taste the "high life" in Colorado. 

Denver, Colorado Springs, Manitou and Glen- 
wood are the best known and most popular of 
Colorado's resorts. It may seem odd to include 
Denver, a city of IS.j.OOO, in this category, but it 
belongs there. Denver is a siunmer resort, as well as 
a rich and beautilul city. Its hotels are maintained 
very largely for the accommodation of summer visit- 
ors. It is a place where one could spend a month to 
excellent advantage. It is the best starting point for 
a large number of attractive one-day trips to and 
through the mountains. It has scores of good res- 
taurants, hundreds of boarding houses, parks, sum- 
mer gardens, and a street railway system that 
his fev,' equals. The mountains are only thirty 
miles awa> — they look much closer, but they are 
really quite a long way off. 

Colorado Springs is the aristocrat of Colorado 
cities, the home of several thousand unusually well- 
to-do and exceptionally cultivated people from all 
parts of *he country. It has fewer hotels than 
Denver and their variety, especially in the matter 
of price, is not as great. But for the inan or woman 
who wants to get away from the noise and racket 
of a big city, and yet feels the need of having 
right at hand the conveniences and comforts of 
metropolitan life, Colorado Springs is ideal. 

A MOST DELIGHTFUL PLEASURE RESORT. 

.Alanitou has been called the "Saratoga of the 
West." and worthily does it bear the title. Very 
much smaller than Colorado Springs, it, neverthe- 
less, in the course of a summer, entertains more 
lieople. It is a pleasure resort, first, last and all 
the time. In this respect it differs from Colorado 
Springs, which is essentially a city of homes. 
Manitou has half a dozen large hotels and per- 
haps twice as many smaller ones, to say nothing of 
innumerable boarding houses. The springs and the 
hotel ballrooms are Manitou's centers of activity. 
In the season, any time from July 1 to the middle 
of September, Manitou is as gay as anyone would 
want. 

Glenwood lies in the very heart of the Rock- 
ies, about 300 miles west of Colorado Springs. Its 
location is magnificent, in a valley through which 
flows one of the largest of Colorado's rivers. It is 
referred to at length elsewhere in this publication. 
Meanwhile, it may be said that mention is here 
made of it — and this is true also of Denver, Color- 
ado Springs and Manitou — simply in order that the 
reader may know, before he arrives in Colorado. 
what are the dominant characteristics of its four 
leading resorts. Superficial as the comment has 



been, it is, nevertheless, sufficient to give liim a 
key to all four places. 

However, it is only fair, not only to Colorado, 
but to the prospecti\e visitor as well, to say that 
two of the four leading resorts of Colorado have 
little or nothing about them that is distinctively 
Coloradan. This is not intended as a reflection on 
either place. It means that with the exception of 
the always glorious climate, Manitou and Denver 
might be reproduced in any one of half a dozen 
other states without being out of harmony w-ith 
their surroundings. 

DIFFERENT FROM MOST RESORTS. 

Colorado is fortunate in possessing a number of 
resorts that are "different" from the general run 
of summering places. Their nam.es? Estes Park 
is such a place. So, in a way, are the pretty lodges 
in Platte Canon. So are any number of the smaller 
towns and resort places in the interior. They are 
located on the sides of mountains, on the banlts of 
streams where famous fishing is to be had, or near 
springs whose waters come bubbling to the earth's 
surface — queer of taste, hot to the touch, but 
"wonderfully good for you." 

These are the places that are truly and typic- 
ally Coloradan. _ These are the places where one 
gets in touch «ath good old Mother Earth; where, 
for the first time in years, perhaps, one really real- 
izes how beautiful is the blue sky and how fine is a 
lungful of air, fresh from snowy peaks. 

It is to these out-of-the-way comers that your 
true lover of Nature hies. Not for him the great 
hotel, with its army of servants and crowded hall- 
ways. Not for him the gay promenade of beauty 
and fashion. He would woo the sweetest of all 
mistresses. Dame Nature herself. And so. for a 
period, his letters bear queer superscriptions: 
"Such-and-such a place, Routt County, by stage 
from Eagle, via Bogg's Ferry." 

The really best way to see Colorado is to go 
first to Denver or Colorado Springs. There one can 
get one's bearings. They are the tourist's head- 
quarters, the railroad and business centers of the 
State, the places from which all roads lead into 
the interior. North of Denver is a rich, irrigated 
region; east, the rolling plains, sloping gently to- 
\\ards the Missouri: west, a veritable sea of moun- 
tains; south lie those gems of cities. Colorado 
Springs and Manitou. and beyond is Pueblo — the 
"Pittsburg of the West." 

One more paragraph and this rambling chapter is 
finished. 

You will wish to know what sort of clothes to 
wear in Colorado. That depends largely on what 
you intend doing there. If you expect to spend 
most, if not all, of your time in the cities, rather 
than to "rough it," you should take with you cloth- 
ing of the weight and texture you would wear at 
home at that time of the year. A light overcoat. 
or a wrap, should be included, as should an um- 
brella or a raincoat. You will, of course. ha\e 
with you clothing for all the social occasions that 
are likely to arise. A pair of stout shoes, a soft 
hat and an old suit — these for mountain climbing, 
etc. — are also desirable. 

COLORADO'S SCENERY AND CLIMATE ARE 
COMP.\RED WITH SWITZERL.IND. 

Just why the Alps should be so often referred 
to when the Rockies are mentioned is inexplicable 
to those knowing both. 

While the Alps have isolated peaks such as 
Jlont Blanc (I.t.781 feet), and the Matterhorn 
(14.836 feet), the mean elevation of the highest 
Alpine chain is only from 8.000 to 9,000 feet. 
Colorado possesses more than 120 peaks of over 
1.S..-.00 feet, of which no fewer than thirty-five are 
higher than 14,000 feet. 

The highest village in Europe is Avers Platz 
in Switzerland (7..")00 feet). The highest inhabited 
point in Europe is the Hospice of St. Bernard in 
Switzerland (8.200 feet). In Colorado the min- 
ing town of Leadville, with l.'J.OOO inhabitants, is 
over 10.000 feet above sea level. Other mining 
camps are still higher and some gold and silver 
mines are worked at an elevation of over 13,000 
feet. 

In Switzerland the cog-railroad from Vitznau to 
the summit of the Rigi Kulm (.5,900 feet I, has a 
length of four and a half miles, in which the 
ascent is 4,072 feet. In Colorado the cog-railroad 
from Manitou to the stmimit of Pike's Peak (14.147) 
has a length of eight and three-quarters miles, in 
which the ascent is 8.100 feet or an average of 
846 feet per mile, the maximum grade being 1 320 
feet.

CONNECTICUT 

Advantages Offered in this State for New Settlers 



It is not always that the land-seeker is in search 
of land. If he has a family or children pent up in 
the city, his ambition is to get away from the con- 
gested metropolis and secure a home, either in the 
suburbs of a city or in a state, where there is ample 
opportunity for abundant and regular employment. 
and where his family may have the advantage of 
good society and educational facilities. 

now TO GET A LIVING. 

The first consideration with the land-seeker, after 
providing the family with a comfortable home, is 
the means of obtaining revenue by which there can 
be support for the household. Even in new states, 
and upon government lands, the family is no sooner 
settled than the head of the household, who has been 



trained possibly to some trade, or special vocation, 
often goes in search of a position in the line of 
employment to which he is accustomed. 

The facilities for obtaining employment when he 
leaves his present place of abode is a subject that 
occupies the attention of every emigrant from one 
country to another, or when he leaves the city for 
life in the country. 

WORK FOR ALL THE FAMILY. 

In fact, it is usually more important to know 
that the family, in going to a new locality, can have 
constant employment and sufficient revenue to sup- 
port the household than it is to immediately come 
into the possession of land. 

It is because of the necessity for immediate rev- 



33

enue that causes the eity resident to go no further 
away from the city than (lie Nuburbs. He has made 
the change from cramped, unhealthy quarters, in 
the metropolis, out to the land where the children 
can have clean play grounds, sunshine and pure 
air. And yet he retains his position in the city 
an(i liis income continues. 

.\nd so great numbeis of land-iseekers content 
tlieiiiselves by going into the outer edge of the city, 
taking up what land they require for the home, 
while the head of the house, and perhaps several 
inenUierN of the family, continue employment in 
tile metropolis. 

LEAVING THE CITY FOR THE COUNTRY. 

In breakinfi: awa.v from the city and taking up 
abode in a new re.uime. tlie ever serious question is, 
.■what can the emigrant do after he gets to his 
dislination. Great numbers of people, who go from 
(itios in the East to new and cheap lands in the 
West, are clearly determined to engage in agri- 
culture, and horticulture, buy their land with refer- 
ence to following that line of employment, and act 
accordingly. 

But all people are not predisposed to getting a 
living from land. Noble as that vocation is. they 
are not adapted to that work and prefer mechanical, 
clerical, mercantile, professional or other employment. 

In breaking up a city home, therefore, and going 
into a IH'W regime without previous definite engage- 
ment as to what shall be done after settlement in 
a new state, it is a matter of most serious import 
to consider what are the various oportunities for 
obtaining a livelihood in the new state. 

I'RIVILEGES IN CONNECTICUT. 

Tlii.s brings lis to an examination of the advan- 
tages offered in Connecticut. This is a representative 
New England State, whi<'h has long been settled, 
the land in farms being valued on the average at 
.$i-'."i.7."i per acre. The size of the average farm is 
107 acres and of these there are on the average 
imoroved 42 acres. 

MANY :MANI'I-.\CTI RIES IN CONNECTICUT. 

( 'onnerticut is one of the most densely populated 
states in the Union. The state is so crowded with 
manufacturies as to permit a dense population to 
find employment outside of agriculture. Hence the 
land-seeker can go into this state and feel that it 
will not be absolutely Tiecessary to culilxate the soil 
in order to get income. Here are aliundant oppor- 
tunities to find employment in great numbers of 
industries. 

Tlioiigli a small state, a late census shows that 
there are over 7,00(» industrial establishments, the 
claim being thit within Die limits of the state there 
is maniifaetiired everything needed in civilization. 

That this is a maniifaetiiring center is shown in 
the fact that there are over si.Yty villages and cities 
in the state having a population of over 2.000 people 

The various industries are favored by the numer- 
ous streams and the intelligence and inventivenes of 
its workmen. It is also fortunate through having, 
in great abundance, the raw material right here 
upon the ground for much of that which is to be 
made into the manufactured product. 

THE DIFFERENT WOODS OF CONNECTICUT. 

The fores'.s suppl.v pitch and white pine, red 
cedar, tamarack, aspen, beech, basswood, cherry, 
seven species of oak, two of ash, four of maple, four 
of birch, three of elm, hickory, pignut, black walnut, 
butternut, holly, hackberry, pepperridge, wild plum, 
sassafras, sycamore, tulip tree, poplar, dogwood, and 
willow. 



nil: R.YU MATERI.VU FOR MANUFACTURING. 

Tlie largest amount of feldspar used in the glaz- 
ing of cliinaware, (juarried in the LTnited Stales, 
comes from (jlastenbury and Middletown. Portland, 
on the ("oiinecticut River, is noted for its brown stone 
fo'' building purposes. M.irble, limestone, llagging 
stone, tiling, slate, fire-clay, and other stone are 
unlimited in amount. Iron ore has been mined 
here over 125 years. 

EXPORTS OF CONNECTICUT. 

Of <'oiirse, large quantities of raw material come 
In from other parts of the world, the result is a 
great output of rubber goods, hardware, clocks, fire- 
arms, paper, carriages, cotton goods, silk, and woolen 
fabrics, machinery, hosiery, furniture, sewing ma- 
chines, saddlery, pianos, tools, buttons and pins. 

In the long list of industries, in which young and 
old can engage, examination will reveal that there 
is no better region into which the land-seeker can 
go, with the expectation of finding employment for 
every membei- of the family of suitable age, than 
Connecticut. ■

DELAWARE COUNTIES. 



DELAWARE 

Delaware seeni.s to be a small state, and in com- 
parison with the area of the others it is. but when 
it is placed by the side of Rhode Island it is seen to 
be almost twice the size of little Rody. To illustrate, 
each state is 35 miles wide, but when we come to 
measure length we find that Delaware is 110 miles 
long, while Rhode Island is only 50 miles. 

ORIGIN OF THIS LITTLE STATE. 

How this little state, with three counties, comes to 
nestle down between Delaware Bay and Maryland is 
understood when history gives the explanation. 

Henry Hudson entered and sailed up the bay in 
160!». On the following year, ICIO, Lord De la Ware, 
an early colonial governor of Virginia, made a voyage 
up the bay. From his exploration the bay was named 
Delaware Bay and this became the name of the small 
tract of land on the west side of this body of water. 

At that period the Indians, who occupied the north- 
ern part of the land, were known as the Pinquas, 
while those on the south were the Nanticokes.

ACTIVITIES OF THE SWEDES AND DUTCH. 

In 1631-2 the Dutch planted a small colony near 
Cape Henlopen, but the Indians drove them out three 
years latir. In 163S a eolony of Swedes and Fin- 
landers bought land and built a fort on Christiana 
Creek, New Castle county, near present city of Wil- 
mington, named the country New Sweden, and a 
little later put up a fort on the island of Tinucum, 
a few miles south of Philadelphia. This was con- 
sidered by the Dutch of New Amsterdam an invasion 
of their territory and they set up Fort Casimer, near 
the site of the present New Castle, in New Castle 
county, only five miles from the Swedish fort. A 
settlement on the Delaware River, made in 1641, by 
a colony from New Haven, Connecticut, was broken

up by them, causing great flnancial disaster. The 
Swedes took Fort Casimer in lti.j4. but the next year 
the Dutch seized the whole ('ountrj and sent to Eng- 
land all the colonists who refused allegiance to 
Holland. 

WHEN THE ENGLISH GOT CONTROL. 

When New York came under the English govern- 
ment, in 1004, the Delaware settlements were claimed 
for the Duke of York, and also by Lord Baltimore for 
Maryland, but William Penn, soon after he settled 
Pennsylvania, purohased the Duke's right, and 
effected a compromise with Baltimore so as to add 
the Delaware settlements to Pennsylvania, and for 
20 years they were governed as a part of Pennsyl- 
vania, under the name of the "territories" or tliree 
counties on the Delaware, each county sending six 
representatives to the general assembly. 

In 1703 Delaware sei up for herself, so far as to 
establish a separate legislature, but the rule of the 
Pennsylvania governor was conceded on the ground of 
proprietary rights, until the period of the revolution, 
when the state became independent. 

VERY LITTLE TROI BLE WITH THE INDIANS. 

With the exception of some slight contests, first 
with the Indians in 16.52, and subsequently, disagree- 
ments among the Swedes, Dutch and English, the 
settlers on this tract of land, comprising the three 
counties, have always been singularly free from war- 
fare with the Indians and others. 

While the men of Delaware enlisted with the Eng- 
lish in the French war, the little state of Delaware 
gave 3,703 troops to ^\'ashington in the war of the 
revolution, and 13.070 soldiers to aid in putting down 
the rebellion in l.SOO. 

THE .WERAGE SIZE OF FARMS. 

The land .seeker, in going into Delaware, will find 
the aveiage size of the farms to be about 113 acres, 
and farm land generally valued at about S^SG per acre. 

Sussex county has the reputation of raising the 
greatest number of strawberries of any county in the 
world. 

With an average, temperature of 33 for January, 
July 73, with !I3 the highest, with the thermometer 
never showing below zero, with an average rainfall 
of 33 inches, and a very fertile soil, these counties are 
giving a large annual output of corn. oats, peaches. 
apples, berries and small fruits raised for the Philadel- 
phia markets. Grapes, melons, corn and amber wheat 
with oats, sorghum and dairy products complete the 
list of Delaware's chief agricultural supplies. 

In Kent county great quantities of tomatoes are 
grown for canning. In this county lie some 180,000 



acies of rich alluvial land. For a distance of ten miles 
from the bay the soil is very fertile and the Wfll- 
kept estates with their vine.vards and orchards pre- 
sent a fine picture of prosperous peace. 

GO OtT TO DELAWARE AND LOOK. 

It will be Well for people who seek country liie 
and wish to engage in fruit raising to investigate the 
State of Delaware, in which they will find 55,000 acres 
devoted alone to peach growing. 

But it will not be fruit growing only that the land- 
seeker will have to occupy his attention after going 
into this state. The fisheries here employ over 2, odd 
persons. There are more than 3,000 acres of oyster 
beds, the products from which give an annual yield of 
over $1,000,000.. 

Clays and Kaolins abound and are worked up at 
Wilmington into terracotta bricks and crockery. In 
this industry near 1,000 men are continually em- 
ployed. 

MATERIAL FOR ULUilNG ARTUICIAL TEJETH. 

Near Wilmington is quarried the fine spar employed 
in the manufacture of artificial teeth. 

The iron and steel works of Wilmington employ 
thousands of men, the output yielding many millions 
of dollars annually 

Other industries at Wilmington are the manufac- 
ture of otton goods, pulps, paper and leather goods. 
The great Edge Moor Bridge Works are also near 
AVilmington on the Delaware River. At Dover, fruit 
canning is an important industry. 

There are no mountains in the state, but in the 
extreme north it is hilly, and from the Christiana 
River a low wooded ridge extends southward near 
the west boundary: elsewhere the surface is uni- 
formly level and generally sandy.

Climatic Conditions East Shore, Florida, in Region of Orlando, New Smyrna and 
Other Florida East Shore Towns. 



"This portion of the country is high, the well and 
mineral waters are above the average. The near- 
ness of the Gulf Stream gives an equable climate so 
that a large part of the winter Is balmy and 
pleasant as the Indian Summer of the North. In 
summer the sun is hot. but the heat is tempered 
by the fresh airs from the ocean. In the house or 
in the shade of a tree it is invariably cool. The 
government report shows a maximum temperature 
of 87 degrees and a minimum temperature of 70 



degrees, with strong, coo! breezes varying from east 
to southeast. There is at all times a freshness and 
vitality in the air that amply compensates for the 
direct heat of the sun. 

"In th<» winter the tourist or health-seeker flying 
from zero weather finds here perpetual spring and 
summer. He will leave the snow drifts and biting 
winds of Northern winter to find a land where doors 
and windows are thrown open, the roses blooming 
in January, and beautifully colored birds flying

about his lawn, tame as the robins in the Northern 
home in May. It is the out-ol'-door life, made 
yiossibh: by such a climate and so prevalent here, 
that renders existence under novel conditions so 
charming. You thank God and take courage, get 
out your fishing tackle, or just loaf around. The 
tree lover will find here a new and constant 
pleasure. Maple, hickories, red cedars and oaks will 
give him a home feeling, while the cabbage palm 
gives him unmistakable evidence of being in a 



winterless climate. The stately cabbage palm, 
queen of the forest.s, grows everywhere, and always 
draws the visitor's attention. The live oaks of this 
locality are famous. Many of those grand trees are 
quite equal to the world-known English oaks. 
Mas.sive, as becomes a tree whose unit is a century, 
their palpably great age and majestic proportions 
are enhanced by their priestly drapery of Spanish 
moss." 



FLORIDA 



A LAND OF SUNSHINE AND TROPIC.VL FRllTS. REST AND HEALTH RESORTS 



Althoiigrh this is a region adapted to the growth of 
tropical and subtropical fruits, much of the state is 
yet heavily timbered. Though one of the first settle- 
ments in North America was made in Florida, the 
State is .vet largely a wilderness. 

Only one eightli of the total land area is in farms 
and only one third of the latter is improved. 

The State is adapted to the growing of vegetables 
for the northern markets, while pine trees throughout 
the State yield liberally of turpentine and rosin. 

A new variety of o)ange which will endure low 
temperature has been lately introduced, the result of 
losses .some time ago from freezing. 

The winter temperature of Florida is so generally 
warm as to attract great numbers of people from the 
North in the cold seasons. The favor with which the 
State and the climate are regarded being likely to 
continue in the future. 

The coast waters produce the finest fish, including 
the sheepshead. redfish. and mullet, besides green 
turtle and oysters, and the numerous lakes and rivers 
or' the interior teem with fresh water species. 

In the sojthern part of the State the sumnrer tem- 
ptraluro can only be known from the winter by the 
greater abundance of rainfall. At Key West the 
difference in temperature is not more than 11 degrees.

REST, HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS. 

The rapid development of attractive pleasure 
grounds will bo noted by people who go frequently 
to Florida. 

The general idea which has prevailed that the 
summer time is the onl.v period for the vacation is 
rapidly giving way to the belief that there should 
be two rest seasons, that the summer season, which 
affcds opportunity for recreation and recuperation, 
can very profitably be supplemented by a winter 
season of vacation, that period to be passed in some 
warm cliinate. 

Florida being so accessible to the people of the 
eastern and middle States is being visited more and 
more every winter. The consequence is the great 
number of pleasure places which have been estab- 
lished in this State in recent years. 

DELIGHTFUL CITIES ANT> POINTS TO VISIT. 

Th'-se include Jacksonville, which is the mecca for 
thousands of winter tourists. This city is IS mih'S 
inland froin the Atlantic ocean, has an abundance 
of good hotels, beautiful shell drives, fine parks, and 
an all-the-year climate. 

St. Augustine, oldest city in the United States, 
located where came Ponce de Leon in 1512. Here 
was built a fort in 1565, and the town of St. .Augustine 
came into existence, a city today -distinguished for 
its hixuriousl.v furnished hotels and charming floral 
gardens. 



A short distance south of Jacksonville are the 
famous Magnolia Springs, a fine pleasure and health 
resort. 

Continuing along the St. Johns river, fifty-five miles 
south of Jacksonville, the tourist arrives at Palatka, 
a beautiful city that nestles amid great live oaks, 
stately palmettos, cypresses, bay trees, and a great 
wealth of flowering shrubs. 

Going one hundred miles south of Jacksonville the 
traveler reaches De Land, from which finely kept 
shell roads lead into the dense pine forests and to 
several attractive places in this vicinity. 

Stetson University is located here, affording educa- 
tional advantag<^s for people who sojourn here for 
periods of several months. 

NOTED FISHING RESORTS. 

Onward, two hundred miles south of .Jacksonville, 
we reach San ford, a prosperous town, celebrated for 
iminense celery beds and its fishing and hunting 
.srounds in that vicinity. 

Situated in the heart of the charming lak<s country 
is Orlando, a modern ad most attractive city, the 
population of which, seen in our list of Florida 
towns, is .greatly increased in the winter time. This 
is a center for lake boating and fishing. The county 
roads hereabouts afford splendid drives for the 
speeding of motor cars. 

Tlie location of Ormond, seen on our map, is on a 
famous beach thirty miles long celebrated for its 
opportunity for fast autoinobiling. The American 
Automobile Association holds its annual meet and 
races here. 

The tine, smooth surface of New Smyrna beach 
stretches south for many miles and the bluffs are 
lined with beautiful summer and winter cottages. 

Southeast of Titusville is a body of salt water six 
miles wide where ideal sport is found in fishing, duck 
shooting, sailing and rowing. 

Tarpon Springs is one of the most picturesque and 
attractive towns on the West Coast; located one and 
a half miles from the Gulf of Mexico it is an ideal 
family and winter resort. Great numbers of annual 
visitors here own their own houses and pass the 
winter months in the enjoyment of fishing and 
boating 

Tampa Bay is a highly popular resort for people 
from the North, who come here every year. .\ daily 
steamer service is maintained between Tampa and 
St. Petersburg, where are finely arranged golf 
grounds. 

Palm Beach is one of the most notable social resort 
centers in the world. What nature has not done, 
money has for this delightful spot. Its strip of high 
land, its elongated island, its beautiful homes, its 
charming Lake Worth, its shady groves and avenues 
of palms, its tropical fruits and foliage, its State 
golfing grounds, and superb hotels all conspire to 
make this a Paradise of attraction. 

Sixty-eight miles south of Palm Beach is Miami, 
a rapid growing city, from which point the steamers 
leave for Nassau. 

Miami has the most perfect winter climate, it is 
claimed, in the United States. The summer heat is 
tempered by the Atlantic breezes and cold is so rare 
it is unknown. 

From Miami to Knight's Key dock the route is over 
100 miles of marvelous railway, reaching from one 
coral island to another. At the terminous of this 
railway large, finely furnished steamers carry the 
traveler to Key West. 

Southward from the State extends a chain of small 
rocky islands. These end in a cluster of rocks and 
sand banks caled the Tortugas. which name comes 
from the laige number of turtles found in the 
neighboring waters. 

The most important of these small rocky islands 
lying to the southward of Florida, is Key West, an 
island (i miles long and 2 broad, with a large well- 
sheltered harbor. At Key West is an important naval 
station.

Florida Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



The land seekor in Florida will find a narrow 
fringe of farm land along the eastern shore of the 
State, the soil on which is favorable for the growth 
of Hne apples. Citrous fruits and vegetables for the 
northern markets. 

TWO AND THREE CROPS A VEAK. 

The long period of sunshine here, summer and win- 
ter, and the nearly sixty inehes of annual rainfall, 
permits the raising of two and three crops a year on 
tlie same land, while the railroads which parallel 
these lands, and steamers whicli run to the North 
Atlintic ports afford ample facilities for the trans- 
portation of all food products to the North at very 
cheap rates. 

Between the railroads and the interior, south of St. 
Augustine, the west coast is swampy and flat. The 
farming areais largely in the interior, being devoted 
to corn and cotton in the northern part, and to citrus 
fruits and vegetables further south. 

The land-seeker wishing to investgate the prospects 
for fruit and vegetable production in Eastern Florida 
should go to Jacksonville, there study the local mar- 
ket and get information from fruit dealers as to con- 
ditions. Thence go among the fruit and vegetable 
growers along the St. John's River. 

The outlook is bright for the future of Florida. 
The State v.'i'.I steadil.y grow in popularity as a 
winter resort by people who can easily get there 
from the Atlantic and the Middle States. The local 
and tourist population will so increase as to give an 
excellent home market at good prices, the mild 
cliniate making it a desirable region in which to 
live. 

The average value of farm lands is less than $10.00 
an acre, about 35 per cent of which land is im- 
proved. There are consequently large areas unoccu- 
pied where land can be purchased at a low figure. 

ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST REGIONS. 

Statistics show Florida to be one of the healthiest 
of the United States, which accounts for so large 
a number of invalids from the North seeking the 
genial climate of the State. A fact not generally 
understood is that the summer climate is as delight- 
ful as the winter, the temperature of July and Novem- 
ber being about the same. 

The productions of Florida are of an essentially 
tropical character; cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar-cane, 
ariowroot, hemp. flax, coffee, and cocoanut flourish 
throughout all the State. The climate is also favor- 
able to the cultivation of the silkworm and for the 
cochineal insect. 

Since the destructive frosts of a few years ago a 
new variety of orange has been introduced which is 
sufficiently "hardy to endure any cold weather here- 
after liable to occur here. 

There are now constantly being successfully grown 
oranges, lemons, bananas, limes, olives, grapes, and 
pineapples. All these grow abiuidantl.v and are of 
exquisite flavor. 

Indian c<irn, jweet potatoes, beans, peas, and such 
products of a more northern climate as Irish potatoes, 
barley, buckwheat, hops, etc., are also raised. 

Tlie cultivation and export of oranges and other 
fruits has grown to be a considerable source of 
v.-ealth to the State, while the manufacture of cigars, 
especially at Key West, is an important industry. 

The principal forest trees are red, live and water 
oaks, mahogany, palmetto, magnolia, dogwood, and 
in the swamps pines, cedars and cypresses. 

DRY SEASONS RELIEVED BY DEWS. 

The driest seasons are relieved by heavy dews, and 
the sun that would bake the earth in other parts and 
wither vegetation, is so tempered by the pervading 
moisture in tlie sea breeze as to cover the surface 
with perennial verdure. 

Deer of various kinds abound and smaller game is 
found in all parts of the country.

Pecan a 3Ioney-Maker. The pecan is one of the 
paying crops. Extra large flne-flavored nuts are 
grown in Florida and it will be many years before 
the market can be given a supply. The history of the 
industry in Florida shows returns from a pecan grove 
can be counted on at about the same age as the 
orange and the profits are as a rule rather greater. 

Pineapples. Pineapples yield from seven to ten 
crops without replanting. The first and principal 
cost is for the land. The income from tlie second, 
Ihiid, fourtli, fifth and sixth crops is profit. One 
acre of pineapples containing 10,000 plants yielded 
300 crates, averaging 30 to the crate, or 9,000 apples. 
They netted over transportation and commission .$2.00 
per crate, or $000.00 per acre. From this same acre 
32,000 planting slips were secured, which sold at $6.00 
per 1,000, adding to the profit of this same acre 
!fl92.00, or a total of $702.00. 

Persimmons. The Japanese persimmon is a coming 
fruit. Comes into bearing quickly and makes an 
enormous yield of fruit, and like the pecan sheds 
its leaves and rests in winter when all the garden 
crops are being grown and may be planted on lands 
used for trucking. 

Strawberries. Florida lands are equal and in re- 
spect to climate and soil superior for the growing 
of the strawberry to any State in the Union. One 
person last year, by using his fa:nily labor in picking, 
packing, etc., netted over one thousand dollars 
($1,000) an acre. This result was obtained without 
irrigation. One year with another, irrigation is a 
great advantage. 

CLIMATE. 

No climate in the United States makes labor so 
light to the tiller of the soil as that of Florida. There 
are no violent extremes of temperature, such as ai'e 
characteristic of the Northern States, and, indeed, of 
some sections of the South. The climate is genial 
and equable throughout the entire year. 

3Iany residents of the North are under the im- 
pression that the summers are very hot in Florida 
because tlie State is located so far south. Nothing 
could be more erroneous. It is an undeniable fact 
that the temperature here never rises to so high a 
point as in the Northern States. This is simply 
because Florida is a narrow peninsula, having the 
ocean on one side and the gulf on the' other, with 
cool and constant breezes blowing clear across the 
State. 

There are many cases on record where growers of 
these crops have made as high as $1,000 to $2,000 an 
acre, and it would be easy to cite many instances 
of $200 an acre for cabbage, $225 or even more for 
cauliflower, $250 for tomatoes, as high as $750 for 
lettuce, $800 for egg plant, $800 an acre for straw- 
berries and so on. The following are the average 
returns for certain crops for the year 1908-9: 

Product Per .\cre Per Acre 

Rice 30 bushels $ 45.00 

Oats 40 bushels 40.00 

Sweet Potatoes 00 bushels 47.20 

Velvet Beans 20 bushels 37.00 

Millet 2 tons 40.00

Watermelons 125.00 

Grape Fruit 240 boxes 480.00 

Beets 200 crates 400.00 

Cantaloupes 125 crates l.")0.00 

Peppers 100 crates 200.00 

Squash 100 crates 100.00 

Strawberries 2,000 quarts 2.S0.00 

Pears 136 barrels 4.'$0.00 

Celery 500 crates 600.00 

LITTLE FARMS WELL TILLED. 

While to the farmer of the West and the Middle 
West the idea of a farm of ten, twenty or forty acres 
appears ridiculous, yet here in Florida a farm as 
large as fortv acres is rare and the results obtained 
from ten and twenty-acre farms are so marvelous 
that the newcomers to Florida have to be shown.

A FEW INDUSTRIAL FACTS ABOUT GEORGIA. 



Rice. — Rice is an important product which can be 
easily produced in Georgia of very superior quality. 
The average yield is about 12 barrels per acre and 
in favorable seasons a second crop of 8 to 10 barrels 
may be obtained. This product sells for about $3.50 
a barrel. 

Transportation. — The facilities for transporting any 
product of the state to the outside world include 
over 7.000 miles of steam railway and 2,500 miles of 
navigable rivers. 



Asbestos. — Nearly the entire domestic supply of 
asbestos, used in fireproofing, electrical insulation, 
steam pipe and boiler covering, paints and building 
inaterial, is mined in the Georgia mountains. 

mica. The Georgia mica belt is a continuation 
of. and promises to be equally as rich as the 
famous belt of North Carolina which produces today 
the best mica found in the world.

General Description of the State — Opportunities for New Settlers 



GEORGIA 



A Land of Subtropical Fruits, Cotton and Rice. 



In climate, forestry and lumber, agriculture and 
horticulture, Georgia has much which will interest 
the land seeker. Nearly all the productions of tem- 
perate and subtropical regions are cultivated here 
successfully. 

Cotton is the great staple and Georgia is one of 
the foremost of the cotton-producing States. Other 
staple crops are corn and rice. The State ranks third 
In rice-producing States and third in cotton. 

Of sweet potatoes the average annual yield is 
5,000,000 bushels. 

Diverisfied farming: is becoming more and more 
general, and market gardening a leading and profit- 
able pursuit. The extent of fruit and vegetable 
growing for the northern markets may be judged 
from the fact that there are at present in this State 
over 120,000 acres devoted entirely to the growing 
of watermelons. 

A lesson being- learned is that when a climate and 
soil is found which is adapted to the production of 
a certain staple fruit or vegetable, for which there 
is growing and continuous deinand the more culti- 
vators who engage in raising that article in the 
district where grown the better for each producer. 

Strawberries, peaches, oranges, cantaloupes, grapes, 
sugar beets and other production of the soil occupy 
the special attention of great numbers of agricul- 
turists and horticulturists, who find it to advantage 
to enter into combination with each other in the 
cultivation of the special product. This co-operation 
of many engaged in the same line of agricultural pro- 
duction results in a competition which secures ex- 
cellence, and causes a diffusion of information on the 
subject of cultivation, harvesting, shipping and mar- 
keting which is helpful to all farmers and fruit 
growers who thus combine together. 

From a careful reading of these different descrip- 
tions of States relating to soil and climate, vegetables 
and fruits adapted to particular localities the land 
seeker, especially fond of any special kind of farm 
or horticultural work, can very closely judge as to 
which State and to what region he had better go to 
satisfy his inclination. 

If lumber business is desired it may be remembered 
that this State is headquarter for "Georgia Pine," 
while the gre.at forests are besides abundantly sup- 
plied with fine hardwoods, comprising oak, hickory 
and other woods in such large variety as to annually 
supply over 200,000,000 feet. In fact the extensive 
pine forests of this State are one of the chief sources 
of natural wealth, the byproducts of pine — resin and 
turpentine — yielding an annual revenue some years 
of $4,000,000. The total annual lumber product in 
various years amounts to $18,000,000. 

In horticultural production Georgia has the ad- 
vantage of a climate which, in the interior of the 
State, permits the ripening of garden products one 
month earlier than in the northern fields. 

The soil of the northwestern part of the State is 
a rich calcareous deposit; in the north a gray sand 
and red clay; in the central cotton belt a yellow 
loam with stiff cliy subsoil; in the pine barrens and 
southwest a light sand; in the lowlands it is of a 
sandy, gravelly character. 

HEALTHY REGIONS. 

The climate is very healthful, particularly the 
mountain and pine barren regions, where lung and 
catarrhal diseases are almost unknown. In the north- 
ern portion of the State the snows are light; the 
winters and summers free from extremes. In central 
Georgia the winters are mild, the summer days ex- 
cessively hot, but the nights cool. The coast and 
soutliwest Georgia have agreeable winters with little 
frost, but the summers are long and enervating and 
this section is subject to fevers and cholera. The 
average annual temperature is about 6."i: average 
rainfall 40 to ."lO inches. The extreme limits of frost 
periods are from October 20 to April 20. 

The land seekers in Georgia will find a general 
am'aUening I'ere '.n manufacturing. Water power is 
abundant, widely distributed and continuous as the 
rivers and streams never freeze. Having these ad- 
vanta.ges, and having no need to import the cotton, 
wool, iron and wood used. Georgia clnims the ability 
to manufacture more cheaply tlian any other State. 
The manufactures include cotton goods, flour and srist 
mill products, foundry and machine shop products, 
tar, turpentine, naval stores, and agricultural imple- 



inents. By the last census the capital employed in 
manufacturing was shown to be $135,211,501; the em- 
ployes numbered ;»it2,74!i, and the value of manufac- 
tured products, annually was $151,040,455. 

If interested in cotton manufacture the land seeker 
should go to Augusta, where the claim is made that 
in that city more unbleached cotton is made than 
in any city in the Lnited States, large quantities 
of these goods being exported to Africa and Cliina. 

Atlanta has numerous industrial enterprises. Rome 
and Macon are great trade centers and cotton mar- 
kets. Tallapoosa has glass works and furnaces. West 
Point cotton mills, and Valdosta naval stores. Large 
quantities of superior marble for ornamental and 
building purposes are quarried at Tate and otlier 
places and exported to all parts of the Union. 

While man.v negroes are in the agricultural dis- 
tricts the center of colored population has moved 
west and out of the State. In 1880 the center of 
negro population was in Walker County, Georgia. In 
1890 it had moved southwest 22 tb miles, but was yet 
in the same county. In 1000 it had moved across the 
state line and into DeKalb County, in Alabama, a 
southwestern movement of 11 miles. The total west- 
ward movement of the center from 1880 to ItlOO was 
27 miles and its southern movement 14 miles, sliow- 
ing that the trend of negro population is South and 
West, although the number of negroes in the North- 
ern states has increased. 

CONDENSED FACTS RELATING TO GEORGL\.

insane. 

NEW GREAT INDUSTRY OF GEORGIA. 

Cottonseed Oil. — It is only within the last few 
years that the cottonseed has been discovered to be 
almost as valuable as the cotton itself. For general 
cooking purposes cottonseed oil has no superior. A 
purely vegetable fat, it possesses peculiar dietic and 
hygienic properties. As a general food for cattle, 
horses, sheep and hogs, cottonseed meal and cotton- 
seed hulls are unequaled. They are both a builder 
and fattener and stock fed upon them are invariably 
strong and healthy. The product from the 140 
cotton mills of Georgia annually is worth over $14,- 
000.000 and the export brings to the state $4,500,000. 
Seventeen million dollars are now invested there in 
the manufacture of cottonseed meal. 

GEORGIA "PAPER SHELL" PECAN NITS. 

.N^nother Georgia, industry of great promise is the 
cultivation of the pecan, the most valuable of all 
the commercial nuts. 

King of all the nut-bearing trees, the pecan 
attains to greatest degree of perfection in the cotton 
belt, and Professor John Craig of Cornell Univer- 
sity, one of the foremost authorities on horticultural 
subjects in the TTnited States, first decided upon 
Georgia as the ideal locality for the production of 
this delicious nut on a commercial scale. 

The Georgia nut is termed the "paper shell'' 
pecan, on account of the ease with which it is 
broken by the pressure of the thumb and forefinger. 
They attain immense size.

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



Idaho is a part of the Rocky Mountain range, 
with its area so broken by vast mountains, the 
tops of which are so covered with perpetual snow, 
as to greatly limit that poi'tion of the State which 
is susceptible to a high degree of agricultural use- 
fulness. 

A study of geology reveals the fact that these 
lofty mountains were once voloanos, and over the 
plains in the valleys, covering hundreds of square 
miles, the lava ran down from the mountain 
craters and made the foundation upon which, in 
the lapse of thousands of years, a fertile soil has 
been created where can be grown most abundant 
crops of wheat, various grains and fruits in gen- 
erous variety. 

Aided b.v irrigation and the intense sunshine, 
which prevails in the valleys, the soil is among 
the most productive in the world, vegetables and 
fruits of the finest flavor coming to perfection here 
two weeks earlier than in other parts of the 
country in similar latitude, 

GOOD MARKET TOWNS 

The niinjerous mining camps which abound among 
the mountains make an excellent and steady mar- 
ket for al! thf agricultural productions which can 
be raised here. 

If there is an e.xcess the superior quality and 
flavor of the fruits inake active demand for Idaho 
productions in Eastern markets. 

The supposition is the land seeker and owner of 
this book is searching for highly productive land 
at low prices in healthy climate, accessible to 
market. 

We tlierefore dwell particularly on the agri- 
cultural features of a region about which we write. 

While a stiid.v of the topography of Idaho shows 
it to be in the Rocky Mountain regions, yet in- 
vestigation shows that it lies mostly to the West 
of the Ro<'kies, vast stretches of country being lava 
plains, an arid region only requiring irrigation to 
make the soil exceedingly productive. 

The irrigation problem has occupied the atten- 
tion of the people of the State for years, has re- 
sulted in impioving 38 per cent of the agricultural 
area, and has added $12,000,000 of annual agri- 
cultural wealth to the State. 

The home seeker who contemplates settlement 
in any State naturally enquires concerning the fu- 
ture of that State. As the agricultural wealth of 
Idaho largel.v hangs on irrigation, it is important 
to see what the government and private enterprise 
are intending to do in the reclaiming of deseit 
land. 

See elsewhere Government irrigation in this book. 

Gold was discovered in the Clearwater River 
Valley. Orafino Creek, in Nezperce county in ISOO. 
In 1.S62 placers were discovered in Idaho Basin, 
which have yielded in 150 square miles more than 
$50,000,000. 

In 1900 Idaho ranked fourth in the silver pro- 
ducing states. In the Coeur d'Alene district, in 
Nezperce county, is produced one fourth of the 
entire lead product of the United States, and is the 
chief supply for the smelters of Colorado, Montana 
and Washington. There are valuable copper de- 
posits in the Seven Devils' district in Washing- 
ton and Idaho counties. Cinnabar has been dis- 
covered carrying a high per cent in quicksilver. 



The agricultural resources are great in all parts 
of the State. 

In climate of Idaho, between plains, valleys and 
mountains are found great contrasts. The tall 
mountains of the northern part so arrest the pass- 
ing clouds as to absorb the most of the moisture 
they contain, the remaining moisture falls largely 
in the form of snow. Hence the perpetual snow 
on the mountain tops and the deep snows in the 
valleys of the northern part of the State. 

The result of this great precipitation in the 
mountains and upper levels is lack of rainfall and 
moisture in the lower plains and valleys. The melt- 
ing snow of summer give an unfailing supply of 
water to all the mountain streams, the most of 
which run at so high a level as to permit their 
being turned into canals from which an abundance 
of water may be obtained to irrigate all the low lands. 

The long cloudless days, warm temperature and 
never failing water supply make ideal agricultural 
conditions in Idaho, which combined with rapidly 
opening market towns, in the mining regions, the 
immense yellow pine timber supply, the dry and 
remarkably healthful atmosphere, the great num- 
ber of rapid running streams, furnishing power as 
required — all these advantages must result in the 
rapid upbuilding of the State. 

The land seeker from the East soon after enter- 
ing the State can get very full information as to 
advantages and opportunities in this region for 
new settlers at Idaho Falls, in Bingham county, 
where there is an agricultural e.vperiment station. 
There are thousands of acres here unsettled and 
open to filing under tlie desert and homestead acts. 

The price of land, under ditch, ranges from $10 
to $20 per acre, unimproved $5 to $10 per acre. 

The depth of snow in the winter is one of the 
principal leasons why stock raising cannot be a 
success in the extreme northern part of the State. 

Tlie timber resources of Idaho are immense. The 
.isreat timber belts are estimated to comprise 35,000 
square miles. 

Altitude: Average elevation. 4,700 feet. Lowest 
elevation, 647 feet at Lewiston, at junction of 
Clearwater River with Snake River in Nezperce 
county. Highest elevation, 12,078 feet. Hyndman 
Peak in Blaine county. 

Climate varies with the altitude; air dry and 
highly rarified. Winter extremely cold and heavy 
snowfalls in mountain districts; winters moderate 
on the plains; temperature mild and snowfall light 
in the valleys. Average annual precipitation over 
entire State 17..^2 inches. In extreme northern part 
of the State 46.88 inches, in southern tier of coun- 
ties, 8.03 inches. 

Average annua! temperature at Boise, Ada 
countv. .^0.9 degrees above, the extremes being 
28 beiow the coldest, and 107 the warmest. Climate 
very healthy, perhaps no State in the Union show- 
ing so low a death rate. 

Dimensions: Extreme length of State 490 miles; 
extreme width, SO.'i miles; area, 84,800 square miles. 

Histor.v: Following down the Clearwater River 
the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through the 
region, now in Nezperce county, in 1806. Father 
De Smet, a Jesuit missionary, established a mission 
near Coeur d' Mene lake in Kootenai county in 
1S42. Prospectors began coming into the State 
during the gold excitement of 1852. The territory 
of Idaho established in 1863.

ILLINOIS 



OPPORTUNITIE.S IN AGRICILTI RAL AND VARIED ENTERPRISES 

The Immense Natural Resources of the State 



In a study of comparisons between the different 
states, the land-seeker, for profitable investment, 
discovers he need not go beyond the boundaries 
of Illinois. 

HUNDREDS OF YEARS 

.^Itiiough mufl'. of the stnte is undulating, ex- 
cepting Louisiana and Delaware, this is the most 
level of any state in the ' Union. Not only is 
it level but a large share of its area is covered 
by prairie, where, for hundreds of years, vegeta- 
tion has sprung into e.xistence, ripened, fallen 
back, decayed and returned to enrich the earth, 
making a soil of dark rich vegetable mold, in 
many places on the river bottoms, twenty-five 
feet in thickness, a soil on which various crops 
can be .grown successively for many years without 
losing its strength. 

CENTER OF FARMS 

TJiat the cen'ral loration and fertility of this 
soil is fully understood is shown in the fact that 
so much agricultural development centers in this 
state. To illustrate: By a late L^nited States 
Census the center of farms was near Fairfield, 
Wayne county, 111. The center of value of farm 
property was ten miles north of Jacksonville, 
Morgan count.v, and the center of corn production 
was thirty miles directly south of Jacksonville. 

By government agricultural report of 1906, the 
value of corn, which exceeded every other state, 
was .'!il24,!».Sl,0r.L The n.xt largest was Iowa, $119,- 
448,000. The third largest was Te.xas, $77,902,391. 

AVERAGE CORN CROP 

The average crop of c«irn in the L'nited States 
is twenty-seven bushels to the acre, the average 
in the corn belt of Illinois is forty-five bushels to 
the acre. Dr C. S. Hopkins, head of the depart- 
ment of agronomy at the University of Illinois, 
asserts that it is possible to increase this average 
not only to seventy -two, but to eighty bushels an 
acre. Many scientific farmers raise eighty bushels 
to the acre and even 110 bushels by increasing the 
nourishment in the soil which the corn plant re- 
quires for its development. 

IMMENSE COAI. AREA 

Next to Penns.vlvania, Illinois is the largest pro- 
ducer of coal. Her coal area covers 45,000 square 
niiles. The Illinois coal output in 190G was 37,- 
1.83,374 tons. 

COMFORT.VBLE WEATHER 

Owing to absence of mountains, the state is ex- 
posed to winds which in winter blow chiefly from 



the north and northwest, making the climate severe. 
During the rest of the year, the winds come from 
the south and southwest. The summers are ex- 
ceedingly liot. south of Springfield, Sangamon 
county, but the prevailing breeze in wann weather 
cools the atmosphere to the point of comfort. 

At Cairo, the extreme southern part of the state, 
the average temperature is 58% degrees. 

FIELD FOR FRUITS 

Tl»e mild climate and abundant rainfall in the 
southern part of the state, combined with accessi- 
bility to several excellent markets, have caused this 
region to be selected by horticulturists as a natural 
field for the growing of strawberries, peaches, 
melons and other fruit which ripen considerably 
earlier than in northern regions of the state. 

M.ANUFACTURING CENTER 

Excepting New York and Pennsylvania, Illinois, 
young as is the state, excels all other states in 
manufacturing. There is a natural reason for this: 
First, the wonderously fertile soil produces food 
most cheaply here. Second, the vast area here of 
coal-beds supply clieap fuel for the production of 
power. Third, the many streams furnish means 
for the development of electric power while the 
4,000 miles of navigable rivers outside of Lake 
Michigan perinit of cheap transportation to the 
markets of the countrj-. 

SHIP C-\NAL 

Added to this there is coming probably deep 
water navigation fronr Lake Michigan to the Gulf 
of Mexico, and all parts of the world by way of 
the Chicago drainage canal, the Illinois and Mis- 
sissippi Rivers and the Panama Canal. 

Fl TIRE L.VND V.ILUES. 

Compared with other parts of the United States, 
the value of farm lands in Illinois, ranging in 
price from $30 to $150 per acre, may seem high, 
but the land-seeker will take several things into 
account. 

NATCR.AI. OPPORTINITIES 

Among them are ease of cultivating the soil, 
relief from expense of fertilizing, accessibility to 
markets by water navigation, and thousands of 
miles of railroad at present in Illinois, which bring 
nearly every farm in the state within ten iniles of 
a railway line.

Illinois Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



INTENSIVE FARMING 

The density of population here was, by late cen- 
sus, 100 persons to the square mile. There were 418 
inhabitants to the square mile in Massachusetts and 
TiOS in Rhode Island. Certainly the advantages of- 
fered for the acquisition of a living are as great 
here as in any eastern state, and it is plainly evi- 
dent that this state will be as thiclily settled. 
When that time comes, there will be three times 
more people here than now. T.hen large farms will 
be cut into small tracts, intensive farming will be 
general, as the forty-acre tract will yield as much 
profit as does the one hundred and sixty-acre farni 
today. 

With increased density of population, there will 
be increased demand for land, and corresponding 
advance in price. 

KEEP UP THE PRICE OF LAND 

If at times there is nnore foodstuff than is tempo- 



rarily required, there exists the certainty that the 
land will always give a support and can be de- 
pended upon to furnish a living. The article man- 
ufactured is liable to depreciation in various ways. 
It may be superseded by something better; it may 
get out of style; may be worn out; may be stolen 
or consumed by fire. 

Not so with land. Unless destroyed by some con- 
vulsion of Nature, it is steadily right there, just 
so much and no less, ready to produce and steadily 
yield wealth in the future. 

SAFE TO BUY LAND 

Thus, in any locality, or state, where soil is fertile, 
the climate favorable, the educational facilities and 
markets accessible, all of which abundantly favor 
Illinois, it is entirely safe and wise to invest at 
tlie going prices in suburban and farm land.

The reader should understand that prices of agricultural and mineral products vary with different 
years. The prices of 1906-7 are the average. Causes may make prices more or less in later years. 



POULTRY, EGGS AND BUTTER 

In the foregoing detail of the various sources ot 
wealth in Illinois we have made no mention of the 
millions of dollars of revenue that annually come 
from poultry, eggs, butter, cream and milk. No 
figures are here given of the vast yield of garden 
vegetables, apples, melons and small fruits. No sta- 
tistics have been given here of the thousands of 
conservatories that send their cut flowers hundreds 
of miles in all directions 

3IUCH MORE TO BE SAID

INDIANA 



CEM'ER OF POPILATION TS THK TNITED STATES AS FOLLOWS: 1890, NE.4K COLUMBUS, IND 
1900, SPARTANBURG, IND.; 1910, BL003IINGT0N, IND. 

See Locations on Our Map 

The purchase of land at present prices, by the 
land-seeker, must result in large profit, from the 
fact that, compared with other States, Indiana 
can support a population four times as great as 
there are at present within her boundaries. 

THE CAPITAL, OF THE STATE. 

Indianapolis is located on a nearly level site 722 
feet above tide water, in a region "of unsurpassed 
agricultural and mineral resources, on the edge of 
the natural gas belt, discovered in 1SS.5, and but a 
few hours from extensive forests, great area of 
coal fields, and rich veins of iron ore. Centrall.v 
located as this city is. in one of the great central 
States, it is natural that this should be a great 
railroad center, which is demonstrated by the 
incoming and outgoing of over 200 trains a day 
frorn the colossal Union Depot in the city. 

Nine parks adorn the city, nine iron' bridges 
cross the river and many miles of electric roads 
are in and about the town. The city has over 
130 churches, over 40 school buildings and over 60 
paved streets. 

Tiiere are many reasons why Indiana is a rich 
State and destined to maintain a dense population. 
Among these is the fact that its central location 
makes it a natural highway with easy output for 
all its agricultural and manufactured productions. 

Its highly fertile soil produces in abundance 
wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, peas, 
beans, potatoes, grass, clover seed, fruit, flaxseed, 
flax, hemp, hay, tobacco, wool, hops, beef, bacon, 
pork in bulk, butter, cheese, milk, mdple sugar, 
maple molasses, sorghum molasses, honey, wax, 
wine, cider and vinegar. 

It is an ideal region for corn, but any agriculturist 
who will pursue diversity of farming, of which the 
state is capable, is sure of a crop of some kind 
every year. 

Indiana is fortunate in the possession of a large 
amount of natural resources. Besides rich soil, un- 
limited quantities of coal, building stone, oil and 
gas. about one-third of the State is covered with 
forests, chiefly hardwood, including white, black, 
red and burr oak. hickory, sugar- and red maple, 
ash. beech, sycamore, elm. tulip, black walnut, 
tamarack, sumac, redbud, dogwood, persimmon and 
wild plum. 

NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES. 

In the great variet.v of opportunities in agricul- 
ture, horticulture, manufacture, commerce and mer- 
chandising, the land seeker who chooses Indiana as 
an abiding place may be considered fortunate. 

CONDENSED IMPORTANT FACTS. 

Altitude. Highest point is at Carlos, in Ran- 
dolph County. 1.023 feet above sea level. 

Climate. Temperature at Indianapolis extremes. 
Highest. 106 degrees; lowest. 25 degrees below. 
General temperature mentioned elsewhere. 

Dimensions. Extreme length, 26.5 miles; extreme 
width. 100 miles; area. 3t'>.3.50 square miles. 

History. Immigrants from Canada settled at 
Vincennes in 1702, Coryden and other places. In- 
diana was a territory in l.SOO. Vincennes being 
the capital. The defeat of Tecumseh. Indian chief 
of the Shawnees, by General Harrison at Tippecanoe 
in Indian battle in ISll. originated the saying, when 
Harrison and Tyler were candidates for the presi- 
dency and vice-presidency: "Tippecanoe and Tyler, 
too." Tippecanoe is a small town of 304 people, in 
Marshall County. 



One of the very favorably located states in the 
United States is Indiana. In topography it is gently 
undulating over fully two-thirds of the state. The 
variation in elevation from Randolph county to 
Posey county, the extreme south-west part of the 
state, being only 900 feet in a distance of about 
200 miles. 

Indiana is essentially a prairie state, with a highly 
fertile soil produced, as in other prairie states, 
from the decay of vegetation upon its level surtace 
for many generations. 

GREAT DEPTH OF RICH SOIL 

This strength of fertility is many feet in depth, 
the soil growing certain crops many years in suc- 
cession without the necessity for the use of any 
fertilizing material. 

THE niVER VALLEYS. 

The principal river valleys of- the state are exceed- 
ingly fertile. The Wabash valley covers 12,000 
square miles, the White River valley comprises 9,000 
square miles, while the Maumee valley, in the north- 
eastern part of the state, incluoes an area of 2,000 
E(]UTre miles. 

The State is abundantly watered with rivers and 
small streams. The Ohio" borders the south of the 
State for a distance, wiih its windings, of over 14o 
miles. The Mabash rises in Ohio, flows through the 
State for a distance of more than 500 miles and 
empties into the Ohio. It has been navigated for 
a distance of 300 miles from its mouth. The Kan- 
kanUee, one of the constituents of the Illinois, flows 
a distance of 100 miles through the nortliwestern 
portion of the State. 

The limestone region in the southern part of the 
State contains many caves'^ the W'.vandotte Cave in 
Crawford County being almost as remarkable as the 
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. 

Bituminous Coal, in three varieties, is found in 
the State in great abundance. The coal area covers 
over 6,000 square miles in the southwestern part 
of the State, extending from Warren County, on the 
north, to the Ohio River, on the south, a distance of 
150 miles. The total depth of the measures is from 
GOO to 800 feet, the seams ranging from one to 
eleven feet in thickness. 

The celebrated "Indiana block" coal, used foi 
making pig iron, is foimd in the southern portion 
of the coal ana. It is taken out of the mines 
in blocks weighing a ton or more. In Daviess 
County there is a seam of superior cannel coal. 

The area occupied by building stone quarries is 
estimated to cover 200 square miles, adjoining the 
coal fields. The stone in the beautiful Indiana 
capitol building and other important edifices are 
from the quarries of this state. Among other 
minerals is lithographic stone, and sand suitable for 
the manufacture of plate glass. 

Salt springs exist in the eastern border of the 
coal formation. Petroleum is an important prod- 
uct of the State and natural gas is used here in 
heating, lighting and manufacturing, besides being 
very considerably exported into Illinois through 
pipes l.Tid for that purpose. 

The absence of mountain ranges permits free ac- 
cess of wind from every point of the compass, with 
the consequence that the weather is often severe 
in the winte*-. yet destructive winds and very deep 
snows are rare. The average winter temperature 
i_s 31 degrees and in spring 51 degrees; summer. 
7t! degrees: autumn. .55 degrees. For the year, 52 
degrees. The amount of rainfall is 43.32.

IOWA 



A State Which Transports an Agricultural Exhibit All Over the State .\lon.? With Professors to 

Teach Scientific Farming. 



.4s an agrrirultural stati Iowa stands ac the very 
head. This is almost purely a prairie state; the 
richness of its soil permitting the growth of most 
abundant crops. It i« also equally distinguished for 
development in live stock interests. 

20,000 SQU.^RE MILES OF COAL BEDS. 

But it is not alone in live stock and the produc- 
tion of grain in which Iowa excels. The bitu- 
minous coal fields of Illinois extends into Iowa, 
covering an area of 30,000 square miles; the veins 
of coal \arying in thickness from 2 ',2 feet to 500 
feet. The lead mine tract is in a belt occupied by 
Galena limestor.e. which touches the Mississippi 
at Dubuque, and lies along the Turkey river valley 
in a northwest direction. 

The southern part of the state is well wooded 
along the rivers. In the northern portion trees are 
comparatively scarce, though groves of pine and 
cedar are found in some places. Of fruit trees 
the apple, pear and cherry grow in perfection. The 
wild plum, grape and gooseberry are indigenous. 

The climate here is well adapted to agricultural 
operations. Owing to there being nothing to ob- 
struct the winds there are cold in winter, but the 
winds of summ.er temper the heat. The average 
annual temperature is 4S. spring 47'/2, summer 
701/2. autumn 45, winter 23Vi; annual rainfall 44.27 
inches. 

While it is always wise to carefully investigate 
conditions of land before purchase, the land seeker 
can sce.rcely go amiss in buying land in Iowa. The 
soil is generally good, sometimes warm and sandy 
in river bottoms, though there is but little inferior 
land. The rich, dark vegetable mold in the valleys 
of the Des Aloines, Iowa and Red Cedar is from 1 
to 3 feet thick, is free from pebbles, and is ver.v 
easy to cultivate. The lo\yIands are generally 
marshy. 

It is difficult to tell what cannot be grown here. 
The soil is adapted to the growth of every agricul- 
tural production which can be grown in this lati- 
tude. For the cultivation of the grains it is un- 
surpassed, potatoes grow in great perfection, and 
the soil and climate are favorable for flax and 
tobacco. Corn is largel.v grown in the southern 
part and in the valley regions. Wheat is adapted 
to the Cedar river district. 

The blue grass country is in the southwestern 
part of the state. Here are found superior breed- 
ing farms for horses and other fine stock. From 
this region is exported large quantities of dairy 
products and fruit. The beautiful undulating 
meadows, the cleai streams and pleasant hamlets. 
which abound in thu region, emphasize the full 
pleasures of farm life. 

A SUPERIOR AGBICULTLTtAI. SCHOOL. 

•Another fact adding Immensely to the prosperity 
of farmers in this state is the Iowa .Agricultural 
College, located at .\mes. in Story county. In ac- 
cord with an act of Congress this school w-as 
organized in 1869 by an endowment of 204.30'.) 
acres. 

Every department of this school is very complete 
and tuition free to residents of Iowa. Among 
other interesting features in its inuseums, are col- 
lections of botany, geology, entomology and natural 
history. Its < ourses of study, which are strictly 
practical, enable the graduate, in civil, electrical 
and mining engineering, to survey the routes for 



railways across the state, to instal electrical plants 
beside the rivers, and to test the mineral possi- 
bilities and conditions in Iowa. From the school 
of veterinar.v science the students go forth to 
properly care for the live stock in the state. From 
the dairy department the pupils go out to make 
success in the production of butter and cheese, for 
which the state is already famous. 

WHAT SCIENTIFIC FAR^UNG HAS DONE. 

In the department of agriculture, it is claimed, 
that one of the professors, through the fitting up 
of a seed testing appliance, termed "Germination 
Box," has added .$1.5,000,000 annually to the wealth 
of Iowa in the increased production of corn. This 
box is filled with moistened sawdust, and before 
planting tiine kernels are selected from such ears 
of corn as it is desired to reproduce in the fields. 
If the seed thus chosen readily germinates the fact 
is evident that this is a good and reliable seed 
corn, that every kernel will bring forth a stalk 
of corn, and every stalk will bear large ears. 
Thus there is no uncertainty among the young 
farmers of Iowa as to the quality of seed which 
they plant, and, weather conditions being right, 
there is absolute assurance as to production of 
crop. 

The professors of the Agricultural College in 
Iowa do n«»t stop with siinply giving instruction to 
those who seek their school. Thfy know that 
thousands of the old style farmers look with sus- 
picion upon "book farming." and unless this preju- 
dice is overcome the state will constantly be a loser 
in consequence of this ignorance. 

Realizing that these old farmers will not come 
to the school, a coinmodious car is fitted up to 
illustrate Iowa possibilities in agriculture, and this 
car tours the slate — an agricultural exposition on 
wheels. It is accompanied by lecturers who 
demonstrate and explain, the result being that the 
farmers of Iowa are getting the science of agricul- 
ture down to the finest possible point. It is no 
wonder that fanning in this state, with its know- 
ledge of fertilization, the constituents of soil, the 
secrets of germination, and the processes of cultiva- 
tion, should be greatly superior, in pleasure and 
profit, to the farming of a past generation.

IRRIGATION 



Location of U. S. Government Irrigation Projects. 




PEINCIPAL IRRIGATION PROJECTS 

IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. 

IF THE LAND SEEKER HAS NO MONEY. 



The question may arise as to wliat a man can 
do at any of these projects without money. The 
answer is plain. Go to work for somebody who 
lias money and wants help. 

V^ery full details are published in the Govern- 
ment relating to opportunities for new comers 
and settlers on any one of the projects we here 
describe, the location of which is shown on our 
map. Write for the bulletins. 

Meaning of Irrigation Terms. Acre feet of 
water, means water sufficient to cover the land 
one foot in depth. Second feet, means flow of 
one cubic foot of water per second. Duty of 
water, means depth of water sufficient to supplv 
the land one year. Units of land, means size of 
plats of land to be sold. 

There is immediate and steady demand for 



skilled and unskilled labor at all the irrigated 
projects. To illustrate: From the bulletin relat- 
ing to the Wyoming-Shoshone project we clip 
the following: 

There is a steady demand for skilled labor at 
from $3.00 to $5.00 a day and for unskilled labor 
at from $2.00 to $3.00 a day. The wages paid are 
as follows: 

Carpenters $3.00 to $4.00 

Masons 5.00 

Bricklayers 5.00 

Blacksmiths 4.00 

Painters 3.00 

Farm hands, by the day (with board) 2.00 

Farm hands, by the month (with ' board). .. .40.00 

Teamsters 2.50 to 3.00 

Common labor 2.25 to 2.50

How and Where Shall I Get a Farm? 



WHAT WILL IT COST TO HAVE 
CONDITIONS ON WHICH I CAN BUY AND BE ABSOLUTELY 

SURE OF SUCCESS 



WITH weather so uncertain and climatic conditions so unreliable, where can 
I locate, have no fear of drouth, plant, cultivate, and get full reward for 
my money? 

With the many millions of dollars being expended by the Government in 
irrigating arid, barren, waste land it is a pleasure to give the accompanying 
map, showing the principal irrigated regions in the Western United States, while 
we reproduce from Government literature much important information which 
land-seekers want to know. 

The argument in behalf of settlement on irrigated land is well told in a 
bulletin issued by the Government on 

The Benefits of Irrigated Land 



How many times as the season advances does 
the farmer in Illinois or Missouri or middle 
western states go to town to be greeted with 
the question by the tradespeople: "Well, Jones, 
how's crops?" And how many times does the 
reply come: "Fine, if we can only have rain!" 
Irrigation means that Jones has rain when his 
crop needs it without damage to his neighbor 
Smith whose crop does not need it. It being the 
case that in any large section of country where 
diversified farming is carried on there are dif- 
ferent crops which for their periect maturing 
require water in different quantities and at dif- 
ferent stages, a heavy rainfall at any time, while 
benefiting some crops must of necessity dainage 
others, with the result that the country at large 
never reaches its highest possibility of produc- 
tion. It is only in an irrigated country that the 
crop which requires much water can get It at 
the times and in the quantities which may be 
needed without damage to the crop in the next 
field which needs less. 

No Longer Playing Game of Chance. 

This fact means much to the farmer. It places 
within his hands all the elements necessary to 
successful cultivation of the soil. He is no longer 
playing a game of chance with nature in which 
the dice are leaded, but a working partner with 
her to the end that the earth may yield its full- 
ness. ^Yith the ability to select his land and 
his seed, regulate water with perfect adaptation 
to the requirement of his crops, with equable ap- 
portionment of labor, equipment and cultivation, 
and an intelligent rotation of crops, the chance 
of failure to the farmer on irrigated lands is re- 
duced to its lowest degree. It is here alone that 



the farmer has an equal chance with men in 
other trades and professions, here alone may he 
invest his money and his time with the full 
assurance that he will have a fair thow to reap 
adequate returns from the same, and that like 
the merchant or the mechanic, his success is 
largely dependent on himself. 

Only Wants a Fair Chance. 

That, given an equal chance, the farmer is no 
whit behind those of any other trade or pro- 
fession, and that farming ranks among the most 
lucrative forms of investment and activity, is 
amply evidenced by a review of conditions in 
those sections where irrigated lands have reached 
a high state of development and where sufficient 
time has elapsed for a practical solution of its 
problems. 

Great Advance in Nation's Progress. 

Great movements in each century mark the 
progress of humanity, and irrigation is one of the 
epoch-making events of the twentieth century. 
A nation's real wealth is in its land, in those 
things which come out and off of the land. All 
other values are fluctuating, uncertain and con- 
tingent. Irrigation is the Midas touch which in 
a few years has transformed an uninhabitable 
desert into a blooming garden and made its sands 
yield greater riches than the sands of the gold- 
bearing placers of California or the Klondike, for 
the latter in time are exhausted, but the irri- 
gated desert yields its harvest perennially. Irri- 
gation has made millionaires of men who a few 
years ago were "land poor;" it has added ma- 
terially to the wealth of the nation, and has 
made homes for thousands. 



65 



Liberal Treatment of New Settlers by the Government. 



With the increase in population and the in- 
creasing demand for the supplies of life, no 
greater boon can befall us as a people than an 
increase in the available area of our farming 
lands, and it is through irrigation that the larg- 
est increase of this kind may be expected. 

Abolish Landed Aristocracy. 

One of the dominating traits of the American 
people is their home-making instinct. It was 
this rather than the lure of gold or the love of 
adventure which induced our forefathers to take 
their lives in their hands and brave starvation 
and death in a thousand horrible forms in order 
to make homes for themselves on the newly dis- 
covered continent. In the Old World the land, 
that basis of wealth and insignia of caste, was 
in the hands of a few. The value attached to 
it is demonstrated by the laws of entailment by 
which it is insured for all time to come into the 
possession of a few favored houses, thus consti- 
tuting the landed aristocracy and perpetuating 
it forever. For the man who was not to his 
inheritance born, the ownership of land was prac- 
tically an impossibility; but here was a great 
new and unoccupied continent offering an op- 
portunity whereby they might acquire a coveted 
bit of the earth's surface. The cost of failure was 
death, but they deemed it worth the risk. 

Our country is still being overrun today with 
the peasantry of Europe and the lure which 
brings them is the same as it was four hundred 
years ago. Here is a chance to make money 
and money will buy land. He know.s no prestige 
nor rank which is not identified with ownership 
of the soil, consequently the thing most desired 
is land. 



One of Our Greatest Dangers. 

One of the greatest menaces to our country is 
the discontent and uni'est bred among these for- 
eigners herded in the congested quarters of great 
cities. The sure remedy is land. Give the man 
a chance to earn a home, to identify himself with 
the soil, to actually appropriate to himself a 
small portion of this country where he must 
live, and you have done more to make him a 
peaceful, law-abiding, patriotic citizen than all 
the preaching and legislating which can possibly 
be brought to bear. 

Acquirement of Homes Easy. 

I'rom the very inception of our nation this 
home making instinct of humanity has been taken 
Into account. It was recognized by the legis- 
lators in rewarding the services of her soldiers 
by liberal grants of land. From that day to this 
it has been tlie policy of our government to make 
the acquirement of homes easy. It has been 
recognized in the enactment of all those statutes 
making easy the acquirement of public domain. 
Areas greater in extent than many of the original 
states have been donated for the purpose of 
making habitable the unutilized lands of the 
people. At one time the property of the nation 
embraced 1,800,000,000 acres; today it has been 
reduced to less than 500,000,000 acres. Out of 
this public domain twenty vigorous common- 
wealths have arisen and an agricultural empire 
come into being that is today the marvel of the 
world. 

It is with a view to still further enlargement 
of this agricultural empire that the United States 
Reclamation Service was called into being, and 
for the promotion of this purpose all of its regu- 
lations have been established. 



EXPLANATION OF RECLAMATION ACT. 



On June 17, 1902, the Reclamation Act was 
made a law by the signature of President Roose- 
velt. The substance of this act is that all 
moneys received from the sale and disposal of 
public lands in Arizona. California, Colorado. 
Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New 
Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma. Oregon, South 
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, begin- 
ning with the fiscal vear ended June 30, 1901, in- 
cUifling the surplus of fees and commissions m 
excess of allowances to registers and receivers, 
and excepting 5 per cent of these amounts which 
is set aside for educational and other purposes, 
be set aside and appropriated as a special fund 
in the treasury to be known as the "reclamation 



fund," to be used in the e.xamination and survey 
for, and the construction and maintenance of. 
irrigation works for the storage, diversion and 
development of waters for the reclamation of 
arid and semi-arid lands in the said states and 
territories. 

Tlie public lands so reclaimed are subject to 
homestead entry, and there is absolutely no 
charge for the land itself; but the settler must 
pay to the United States, in not more than ten 
annual installments — without interest — his pro- 
portion, according to the number of acres he 
owns, of the amount expended by the United 
States in reclaiming his land. 



LIBERALITY OF THE GOVERNMENT. 



To make it an inducement for settlers to seek 
reclaimed land the government supplies the land, 
constructs the irrigation works, divides the land 
into smaU farm units comprising 10, 20, 40, 80 
an.d 160 acres, makes no charge for the land 
and gives the irrigation improvements to the 
settler for just what they have cost, payments 
for the improvements to be made in ten years, 
including ten annual payments without interest. 

The great advance in the work of reclaiming 



waste land is shown in our map of over 30 great 
irrigation projects, the lands thus reclaimed in- 
cluding liundreds of thousands of acres, every 
one of which will be, or is already, occupied by 
intelligent agriculturists. 

Detailed information as to areas open to set- 
tlers may be obtained by addressing the Statis- 
tician of the Reclamation Service, Washington, 
D C or the Information Bureau. Recla nation 
Service, 802 Federal Building, Chicago, 111.

ARIZONA SALT RIVER PROJECT. 

Reservoir Area, 25 Square Miles. Irrigates 190,000 Acres. 



This project involves the construction of a 
storage dam at Roosevelt, Arizona, a reservoir 
with an area of 25.5 square miles, and a capacity 
of 1,284,000 acre-feet, or enough water to cover 
1,284,000 acres one foot in depth. The Roosevelt 
dam is of rubble masonry 280 feet high, 235 feet 
long on the bottom and 1,080 feet long on top. 
Its purpose is to regulate the flow of Salt River. 
When needed for irrigation the water is allowed 
to flow down the river from the dam for forty 
miles, where it is diverted by means of the 
Granite Reef dam into two canals, one on each 
side of the river. These canals carry water to 
about 190,000 acres of land in the vicinity of 
Phoenix and Mesa. The diversion dam is a 
rubble concrete weir 38 feet high and 1,100 feet 
long. The irrigation system includes about 469 
miles of canal. 

Sends Electric Power Ninety Miles. 
A power canal ISV^ miles long, having a capac- 
ity of 200 second-feet, has been constructed and 
used to develop 4,400 horsepower which is utilized 
by all the accessory plants incidental to the work 
of construction. On this line are tunnels aggre- 
gating a total length of 9,780 feet. A power- 
house and a transformer house have been con- 
structed immediately below the dam and the 
power developed is transmitted electrically about 
90 miles down the valley, where it will be used 
partly to pump water from underground sources 
to extend the irrigable area to about 50,000 acres 



of high lands in the Gila Indian Reservation and 
in Salt River Valley, and for drainage purposes. 
A large amount will be available for other pur- 
poses. A cement mill erected and operated by 
the Government furnished the cement used in 
the construction work, the dam alone requiring 
about 280,000 barrels. 

Evaporation of Water Four Feet a Year. 

The lands under this project surround Phoenix, 
the capital of the state, and are situated in 
Maricopa County, in Townships 7 North to 2 S., 
Ranges 2 W. to 14 E. The general elevation is 
1,000 to 1,300 feet above sea level; temperature, 
maximum, 120 degrees; minimum, 20 degrees; 
mean, 70 degrees; rainfall, 3 to 10 inches. The 
watershed area is 6,260 square miles, with an 
additional 6,000 square miles on Verde River. The 
average annual rainfall on watershed is from 10 
to 20 inches, and the estimated annual run-off 
of watershed is 800,000 acre-feet at Roosevelt 
dam and 500.000 acre-feet from thei Verde. The 
duty of water is four acre-feet per annum. That 
is, four feet depth of water is required on this 
land each year. 

A Wide Variety of Crops. 

The valley is traversed by the Santa Fe and 
Southern Pacific Railroads, which connect it with 
the towns of the State, the Pacific coast cities 
and the eastern fruit markets. The soil is an 



67 



Description of Irrigated Lands in Arizona and California. 



alluvial deposit of great fertility and adapted 
to the cultivation of a wide variety of crops, in- 
cluding those of the temperate and semi-tropical 
zones. The public lands in the project have all 
been filed on, but there are many large holdings 
of private lands which must be subdivided and 
sold to actual settlers, as no water right can be 
sold for more than 160 acres under the Reclama- 
tion Act. 

Roosevelt Dam. 

The Roosevelt dana is now completed, and the 
remainder of the project will probably be com- 
pleted by the end of the year 1912. Water is now 
being furnished to about 131,000 acres of land 
and this area will likely be increased by several 
thousand acres during the coming season. Dur- 
ing the current year the beet sugar industry has 
been proven a success in this valley, netting the 
growers handsome returns even under adverse 
conditions. Forage and grain crops, fruits and 
vegetables of all kinds produce well and com- 
mand high prices in the local markets. Electric 



power is now furnished to the valley from the 
Roosevelt power plant. 

Items of Historical Interest. 
The most interesting historical fact concerning 
this valley is that it shows prehistoric settlement 
— not only by the cliff dwellings which are found 
in the mountain fastnesses, but in the many signs 
of prehistoric dwelling and irrigation in the 
valley. Casa Grande, the ruins of a "great 
house," is one of the most interesting of all 
ruins to the ethnologist. It is not known how 
old is this house of four stories. The wall sur- 
rounding it is 400 feet long, a rectangle, and 
inside of it were many rooms. The Franciscan 
friars who accompanied Coronado on his explor- 
ing expedition through this country in 1540 re- 
ported these ruins as existing then. The once 
irrigated fields of the mysterious people who 
lived here spread away for miles and many defi- 
nite evidences of a complete prehistoric irrigating 
system have been discovered, some of the present 
canals following exactly the prehistoric grades. 



ARIZONA-CALIFORNIA YUMA PROJECT. 

A First-Class Land for Oranges and Semi-Tropical Fruits — Clear Skies. 



This project involves the diversion of the wa- 
ters of Colorado River by means of Laguna dam, 
a structure of the India- weir type, about 10 
miles north of Yuma, Ariz., into two canals, one 
on each side of the river. This dam was com- 
pleted in March, 1909. It is about 19 feet high, 
4,780 feet long, and 260 feet wide up and down 
stream. By a unique arrangement at the head- 
gates of the canals the waters of this muddy 
stream are drawn off comparatively clear. The 
distribution system consists of 157 miles of canals. 
A complete system of levees with a length of 73 V^- 
miles has been constructed to protect the bottom 
lands from overflow, and a pumping system will 
be utilized to remove the surplus waters from 
the low lying areas. 

Indian Reservation. 

On the Indian Reservation 173 farm units were 
opened to entry on March 1, 1910, and many of 
the entrymen are already clearing and leveling 
their farms. The cost of the water right is $55, 
payable in not more than ten annual installments, 
with an annual charge of $1 for operation and 
maintenance. There is also a charge of $10 for 
the price of the Indian lands, payable in not more 
than ten annual installments. 
Frostless Lane. 

The bottom lands comprise 17,000 acres in the 
Yuma Indian Reservation in California, 20,000 



acres in the Gila River Valley, in Arizona, and 
53,000 acres in Colorado River Valley, in Arizona. 
When the system is extended to include the 
mesa, or table lands, south of Yuma and east of 
the bottom lands in Arizona, about 40.000 acres 
of practically frostless land will be available for 
the cultivation of oranges, lemons, grapefruit, 
limes, olives, vegetables, etc. 

These lands are not subject to entry. The cost 
of water right has not been fixed but will be an- 
nounced before the lands are opened. 

The soil is rich alluvial deposit and produces 
enormous crops when water is applied. Alfalfa, 
grains, vegetables, sugar beets, nuts, melons, 
fruits, cotton, cane, corn, etc., are grown. 

Railroad Facilities. 

The Southern Pacific Railroad, which crosses 
the project at Yuma, furnishes transportation 
facilities to Arizona towns, and the Pacific coast 
and eastern markets. The watershed area is 
200,000 square miles, and the estimated annual 
run-off is 11,000,000 acre-feet. The lands lie at 
an elevation of 100 to 300 feet above sea level, 
and the temperature ranges from 22 to 118 de- 
grees above zero. The nights are cool and on 
account of the dryness of the atmosphere the 
sensible temperature is much lower than the 
thermometer indicates. 



CALIFORNIA ORLAND PROJECT. 

A Land for the Almond, English Walnut, Citrus and Deciduous Fruits. 



This project contemplates the reclamation of 
14,000 acres of land lying about 90 miles north of 
Sacramento in Glenn and Tehama counties. The 



towns within the territory to be irrigated are 
Orland. Greenwood and Malton, on the Southern 
Pacific Railroad. The lands, which are prac-

Description of Irrigated Lands in Colorado for Sale. 



tically all in private ownership, are exceedingly 
fertile, and for many years have been cultivated 
and utilized for wheat growing. The soil is a 
gravelly loam, and with irrigation and the pre- 
vailing climatic conditions it has been demon- 
strated that the land is excellent for the pro- 
duction of alfalfa, nuts, including the almond and 
English walnut, and both citrus and deciduous 
fruits. The general elevation is from 175 to 3S0 
feet above sea level; the temperature, maximum, 
120 degrees; minimum, 26 degrees; average an- 
nual rainfall on the irrigable lands, 17 inches. 
The duty of water is 3 to SVs acre-feet per 
annum. The watershed area is 790 square miles. 
The average annual rainfall on the watershed 
Is 25 inches, and the estimated annual run-off on 
watershed 541,000 acre-feet. 

The engineering features of the project consist 
of a storage reservoir controlled by the East 



Park dam, on Stony Creek, at a point about 4U 
miles above Orland, and a diversion dam sit- 
uated at Miller Buttes for diverting water into 
two canals, one on each side of the creek, cover- 
ing lands in the vicinity of Orland. The storage 
dam is of concrete masonry, gravity section, 139 
feet high from bed rock, 40 feet long on the 
bottom and 250 feet long on top. The diversion 
dam is of sheet piling capped with concrete, 900 
feet long. The canal system includes 25 miles 
of main canal and SO miles of laterals. The 
farmers are pledged to dispose of their holdings 
in excess of 160 acres to bona fide settlers under 
the terms of the Reclamation Act. 

In the spring of 1911 the greater part or the 
whole of this project will be opened. No water 
has been supplied during 1910 other than a small 
quantity of flood water. 



COLORADO GRAND VALLEY PROJECT. 

The Apple and Peach Orchards and Cantaloupes Worth $1,000 per Acre. 



This project is planned to irrigate about 53,000 
acres of land in Mesa County, Colorado. The 
work involves the construction of a diversion dam 
in Grand River, about 60 miles of main canal, 
and a series of short tunnels on the first few 
miles of canal having an aggregate length of 
about 20,000 feet. It is probable that consider- 
able power will be developed at drops in the 
canal, and used to pump water to elevations 
above the main canal.

is red mesa sand, black bottom sandy loam, and 
adobe. The duty of water is one second foot of 
water at the farm per 100 acres of land. The 
apple and peach orchards of the Grand Valley 
bottom lands are almost world famous, the crops 
frequently selling for more than a thousand dol- 
lars per acre per annum. Strawberries and can- 
taloupes are usually grown between the rows 
while the orchards are growing, also potatoes 
and other vegetables. Alfalfa and sugar beets 
are grown in other sections of the project. The 
Denver & Rio Grande and Colorado Midland 
Railroads connect the project with the markets 
of the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic and 
Pacific coasts. There are railroad stations at 
Palisade, Clifton, Grand Junction, Fruita, Loma, 
and Mack. 



COLORADO UNCOMPAHGRE VALLEY PROJECT. 

330 Miles of Canals, Irrigating 140,000 Acres— 15,000 Open to Entry. 



This project provides for the diversion of 
waters of Gunnison River by means of a tunnel 
30,583 feet in length, cross section 10^^ by 11% 
feet, cement lined, with a capacity of 1,300 
second feet. The tunnel passes through a range 
of mountains and carries the water to Uncom- 
pahgre Valley, where it will be used to supple- 
ment the local supply and extend the irrigable 
area to about 140,000 acres of land. Work on the 
tunnel was commenced in 1904 and it is now 
ready to carry water. There are 330 miles of 
canals in the distributing system. 

20 Below, 98 Above. 
The lands to be irrigated lie in Montrose and 
Delta counties. Township 15 S., Ranges 94 to 96 
W., 6th P. M., and Townships 48 to 51 North, 



Ranges 7 to 12 W. N. M. M. The general eleva- 
tion is 5,000 to 6.400 feet above sea level and 
the temperature ranges from 20 degrees below 
to 98 degrees above zero. The watershed area is 
3,850 square miles, and the estimated run-off 
of watershed is 1,500,000 acre-feet. The rainfall 
on the irrigable area is from 6 to 12 inches, and 
the rainfall on the watershed ranges from 7 to 
20 inches. 

The lands for which water is now available are 
all in private ownership, but upon the completion 
of the works about 15,000 acres will be opened 
to entry. The farm unit varies from 40 to SO 
acres, and the duty of water is 4 acre-feet per 
annum at the farm. About 60,000 acres are 
suitable for raising first-class apples and peaches. 
Orchard lands produce as high as $500 per acre

net in the valley. The bottom lands, comprising 
from 80,000 to 90,000 acres, are adapted to the 
growing- of alfalfa and sugar beets. Farmers 
make as high as $80 per acre net from the latter 
crop, and from $100 to $200 per acre from pota- 



toes. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad 
traverses the tract, with stations at Montrose. 
Olathe and Delta. The principal markets are 
Denver and the local mining camps, although 
the apples are shipped also to eastern markets. 



IDAHO MINIDOKA PROJECT. 

507 Miles of Canals — Supplies Electric Power to Adjoining Towns. 



The irrigable area under the Minidoka project 
consists of about 81,000 acres under the gravity 
system and 50,000 acres under the pumping sys- 
tem (127,650 acres were public, 20,886 State, and 
3,147 acres private land). The lands lie on both 
sides of Snake River, in Lincoln and Cassia 
counties. 

Electrical Power Developed. 

The engineering work includes a diversion, 
power and storage dam on Snake River, at a 
point about 6 miles south of Minidoka, Idaho; 
and two canal systems, one on each side of the 
river, heading at the diversion dam and cover- 
ing lands in the vicinity of Acequia, Rupert, 
Heyburn, and Burley. Power is developed at the 
diversion dam for generating electrical energy 
for pumping water to lands on the south side of 
the river too high to be reached by a gravity 
system. The diversion and power dam, three 
units of the power plant, and the distributing 
canals for the gravity system are finished, and 
the power and pumping plants and canals for 
the pumping system are about completed. The 
diversion dam has a height of 86 feet and a 
length of 650 feet and is of the earth and rock 
type. The distribution systems include 507 miles 
of canals. The power and transmission lin.es 
will have a length of from 13 to 20 miles. Con- 
tracts have been awarded to supply power to 
the towns on the project. 

Thousand Acres to Apples. 

The soil is sandy loam and volcanic ash, free 
from alkali, and exceedingly fertile. The sandy 
soil is particularly adapted to the raising of 
alfalfa, potatoes, beet and other root crops, as 
well as melons, strawberries, etc. It is also es- 
pecially adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets. 
The ashy formation is better adapted to grain. 



orchards, etc. Noting the success of farmers on 
the nearest cultivated land the settlers under 
the Minidoka project planted more than a thou- 
sand acres to apples in 1908. It is believed that 
all fruits of a hardy variety will produce abun- 
dantly in this section. 

Ample Water; Delightful Climate. 

The general elevation is 4,200 feet above sea 
level, and the climate delightful. There is an 
ample water supply. The watershed area is 
17,900 square miles, and the estimated annual 
run-off is 8,000,000 acre-feet. The average an- 
nual rainfall on the irrigable area is 14 inches. 

Low Cost Water Right. 

The cost of water right is $30 per acre, pay- 
able in ten annual installments, and the operation 
and maintenance charge for 1910 was 75 cents 
per acre for the gravity system. The building, 
operation and maintenance charges for the higli 
areas to which water must be pumped have not 
been fixed. 

Good Openings for Business. 

The farm unit is 40 acres within a radius of 
IVi iniles from the center of each of the Govern- 
ment townsites, and 80 acres on other lands. 
There are some State lands which will be sold 
by the State Land Board at Boise, Idaho, to 
whom inquiries should be addressed. Lots in 
the Governinent towns may be purchased at 
reasonable prices upon application to the Regis- 
ter of the Land Office at Hailey, Idaho. There 
are good openings in these towns for professional 
men, merchants, manufacturers and laborers. 
The irrigable lands have all been filed on, but 
farms may be purchased at reasonable prices 
from present settlers. 



IDAHO BOISE PROJECT. 

Reclaims 243,000 Acres — Eight Tons of Alfalfa in Three Cuttings. 



The south side unit of original Payette-Boise 
Project, now known as the Boise Project, when 
fully developed, will reclaim approximately 243,- 
000 acres and will supplement the supply for 
about 79,000 acres of land in the fertile valleys 
of the Boise and Snake Rivers, in southwestern 
Idaho, which are tributary to the Oregon Short 
Line, the Boise, Nampa, and Owyhee, and the 
Idaho Northern Railroads. The lands are located 
in Ada and Canyon counties. Townships 1 to 4 
North, Ranges 1 to 5 West and 1 to 2 South, 
B. M. The general elevation is 2,500 feet above 



sea level, and the temperature ranges from 28 
degrees below to 107 degrees above zero. The 
thermometer rarely reaches zero, however, and 
freedom from wind marks the winter months. 
The summers are long, sunshiny, and warm, and 
with irrigation promote the most rapid vegetable 
growth. The average rainfall is 12.7 inches. The 
soil is of volcanic origin, free from rocks, easily 
worked and rich in the necessary mineral con- 
stituents. With rotation of crops and the addi- 
tion of vegetable mold, it becomes richer and 
very productive.

Irrigated Lands in Kansas and Montana. 



Subdividing Their Holdings. 

Practically all of the lands under this project 
liave been tiled upon, but some of the settlers 
are subdividing their holdings and offering re- 
linquishments at prices varj^ing with location 
and improvements. Tlie farm unit has been 
fixed at 80 acres. 

Farms in a good state of cultivation produce 
three to eight tons of alfalfa per acre in three 
cuttings, two to five tons of clover, 50 bushels of 
wheat and 75 bushels of oats. After the last 
cutting the meadows furnish pasturage. Both 
clover and alfalfa seed yield splendid crops. Ap- 
ples, prunes, and small fruits produce well and 
are shipped in quantities to eastern markets. 
Idaho fruits command high prices. Creameries 
are in operation in nearly every town. Sugar 



beet culture is also profitable. Two trolley lines 
liave been extended from the principal towns to 
cover portions of the valley. 

Watershed 2,610 Square Miles. 
The engineering works involved the construc- 
tion of storage reservoirs on the headwaters of 
the Boise River. A diversion dam has been com- 
pleted on Boise River, eight miles above Boise, 
diverting water into an inlet and distributing 
canal irrigating lands under it and supplying 
Deer Flat reservoir in the vicinity of Nampa, 
which has a capacity of 186,000 acre-feet. The 
watershed area of the Boise River is 2,610 square 
miles; the average annual rainfall on watershed 
is 25 inches and the estimated annual run-off of 
watershed is 1,800,000 acre-feet. The average 
rainfall on the irrigable area is 12.7 inches. 



KANSAS GARDEN CITY PROJECT. 

This Plant Consists of Twenty-three Pumping Stations, Electrically Driven. 



This project consists of a pumping system for 
the recovery of underground waters which are 
delivered into a conduit leading to an old dis- 
triljuting canal known as "The Farmer's Ditch." 
The plant consists of twenty-three pumping sta- 
tions, each driven electrically from a central 
power station. There are 10,677 acres of irri- 
gable land in the project, lying in the vicinity of 
Garden City, on the north side of Arkansas 
River, Townships 23 to 24 S., Ranges 32 to 34 
W., Sixth Principal Meridian, Finney County. 

The lands are all in private ownership, but 
there are some excess holdings for sale. The 
soil is a rich, prairie loam capable of the highest 



cultivation and well adapted to the raising of 
grain, sugar beets, cantaloupes, alfalfa, and 
other crops of the plains region. The average 
elevation of the area under this project is 2,925 
feet above sea level, and the temperature range:^ 
from 20 degrees below to 105 degrees above zero. 
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway fur- 
nishes transportation for the products to the 
local markets and to Chicago and Kansas City. 
The water right charge is $37.50 per acre of 
irrigable land, and the farmers are also required 
to pay an annual maintenance and operation fee 
which at present amounts to $2.75 per acre. 



MONTANA BLACKFEET PROJECT. 
Five Proposed Canal Systems Reclaim 132,000 Acres. 



This project, which is being built for the In- 
dian Service, involves the immediate reclamation 
of 50,000 acres of land in the Blackfeet Indian 
Reservation, Teton County, Montana, and the 
ultimate reclamation of 132,000 acres total under 
five proposed canal systems. The first construc- 
tion involves the diversion of water from the left 
bank of Two Medicine River immediately below 
the confluence of Little Badger Creek, and its 
conduction to lands in the east-central portion 
of the Reservation. The lands lie at an eleva- 
tion of approximately 3,850 feet and range in 
temperature from 40 degrees below zero to 100 
degrees F. The soil is rich sandy loam, produc- 
ing abundantly with sufficient moisture, the 
average rainfall being about 16 inches, but vary- 
ing materially. Some hay and grain and excel- 
lent pasturage are produced without irrigation. 



The land can be irrigated with little leveling or 
preparatory work, and excellent crops of grain, 
alfalfa, potatoes and other vegetables can be pro- 
duced. The lands to be irrigated by the first 
system now being constructed lie east of the 
town of Cut Bank and adjacent to the Great 
Northern Railway which furnishes transportation 
facilities. Other stations on the Great Northern 
Railway from which the lands can be reached are 
Opal, Seville, Bombay, Blackfeet and Browning. 
The main canal and a portion of the distribu- 
tion system of the Two Medicine Unit will 
probably be completed in time for irrigation 
season 1911. No entry can be made until formal 
notice has been given by the Secretary of the 
Interior, at which time the cost per acre for 
water right, the size of farm unit and method of 
filing will be made public.

Opportunities Offered on Irrigated Land in Montana. 

MONTANA HUNTLEY PROJECT. 

Towns Close Together — Two Transcontinental Railroads — All Towns Near 

Railroads. 



This project contains about 30,000 acres of 
irrigable land located along the Yellowstone 
River, in Yellowstone County. As the lands are 
a part of the ceded strip of the Crow Indian 
Reservation settlers are reciuired to pay $4.00 per 
acre to the Indians — one dollar at the time of 
entry and seventy-five cents annually for four 
years, beginning with the second year. In addi- 
tion to this the Government charges the settler 
the cost of building the irrigation works, which 
is $30.00 per acre, payable . $3.00 per acre per 
annum for ten years. The payments may be 
made in fewer installments if desired. A further 
annual charge of 60 cents per acre for operation 
and maintenance is made. The first payment of 
$4.60 becomes due when the land is filed upon. 

Delightful Climate. 

The general elevation of this part of Montana 
is 3,000 feet above sea level, its climate is de- 
lightful and the soil varying from light sandy 
loam to heavy clay produces abundant crops when 
properly watered. The principal products are 
alfalfa, forage, cereals, sugar beets, vegetables, 
apples and small fruits. The farm units vary 
from 40 to 160 acres, depending upon location, 
and average 40 acres of irrigable land. The 
irrigated land in this section is worth from $75.00 
to $200.00 per acre according to the state of 
cultivation and the crops grown. 

Two transcontinental lines of railroad — the 
Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington 
and Quincy — traverse the tract its entire length, 
and eight towns have been laid out on these 



lines at intervals of five miles, so that no farm 
is more than three miles from a shipping point, 
and the average distance of all farms from a 
railroad station is only 1% miles. There is a fine 
free range country adjoining the project, and 
the live stock industry affords a permanent home 
market for alfalfa. The railroads furnish excel- 
lent transportation facilities to Chicago, St. Paul 
and Minneapolis, Omaha. Denver and nearby 
cities. 

Unusually Good Opportunities. 
Schools and churches have been established 
and the towns offer unusually fine opportunities 
for professional and business men, manufactur- 
ers, laborers, etc. The town lots have been ap- 
praised, and may be purchased at the land office 
at Billings, Montana. 

Water to Each Farm. 

The engineering works consist of a system of 
canals having a length of 268 miles, which de- 
liver water to each farm. The headworks, cul- 
verts and other structures are of reinforced con- 
crete and the three tunnels with an aggregate 
length of 2,653 feet are lined with cement. The 
pumping plant near Ballantine is a novel feature, 
as the drop of water from the main canal is 
made to lift a portion of the water to a higher 
level to supply the High Line canal. Vertical 
turbines and centrifugal pumps are mounted on 
the same shaft and the operation is nearly auto- 
matic. More than 200 farms under this project 
are still subject to entry. 



MONTANA MILK RIVER PROJECT. 

Reclaims 248,000 Acres — Many Towns and Railway Stations in Milk River Valley. 



This project contemplates the ultimate reclama- 
tion of about 248,000 acres of land in the Milk 
River Valley between Chinook and Glasgow in 
Chouteau and Valley counties, Montana. About 
50 per cent of this area is public land. The 
average elevation is 2,200 feet above sea level 
and the temperature varies from 45 degrees 
below zero to 100 degrees F. The soil is sandy 
loam and clay, well adapted to the raising of hay, 
grain, vegetables, alfalfa, sugar beets and other 
products of the north temperate zone. The 
Dodson dam has been completed and from the 
reservoir water will be diverted into the canals 
on each side of the river. The Dodson South 
canal has now been completed and about 10,000 
acres of land was irrigated during the season 
of 1910. Tills canal covers lands extending from 
Dodson to Nelson Lake Reservoir, from whence 
it is expected to construct another canal to cover 



lands between that point and Glasgow. There 
are many towns and railway stations in the Milk 
River Valley, all being upon the Great Northern 
Railway, which traverses its entire length. 

375 Miles Main Canal. 
In addition to the regulation of the discharge 
of Milk River, the water supply will be supple- 
mented from St. Mary Lakes. The discharge 
of St. Mary basin will be stored and conducted 
by a canal 25 miles to the head waters of Milk 
River. The engineering features involve storage 
and several diversion dams, 375 miles of main 
canal and an extensive lateral system. It is ex- 
pected that following the completion of the Dod- 
son South Canal and the supplying of water to 
the lands thereunder successive units will be 
developed in order that additional areas may be 
irrigated as rapidly as possible. 



72 



Inducements for Settlers in Montana. 



MONTANA SUN RIVER PROJECT. 
Reclaims 276,000 Acres — Grazing Land Included With Farm Units. 



The lands under this project are located in 
Teton, Lewis and Clark, Chouteau and Cascade 
counties, about 25 miles from Great Falls. Sun 
River Valley is about 70 miles long and from one 
to five miles wide. The ultimate development of 
the project involves the reclamation of 276,000 
acres of land. A compact body of 16,000 acres, 
known as the Fort Shaw Unit, has been opened 
to entry and is being rapidly settled. 

No Brush to Be Cleared. 

The soils are sandy loam, clay, adobe, and 
alluvium. There is .no sage or other brush to 
be cleared. The principal crops are alfalfa, hay, 
grain, vegetables and sugar beets. The general 
elevation is 3,700 feet above sea level and the 
temperature ranges from 40 below to 100 degrees 
above zero. Fine grazing lands surround the 
project. The farm units vary from 40 to 160 acres 
of land. Wherever practicable, a tract of graz- 
ing land is included in the farm unit. 

The watershed area consists of 850 square 
miles on Sun River and 290 square miles on Deep 



Creek, and the estimated annual run-off is about 
700,000 acre-feet. The average annual rainfall on 
the irrigable area is 12 inches. 

Homestead Farms Obtained. 

Farms under this project are obtainable under 
the homestead law, subject to the charges of 
actual cost of water upon the land. This charge 
has been fixed at $3,000 per acre of irrigable land 
in not more than ten annual installments. At 
present the operation and maintenance charge is 
50 cents per acre per annum, and the sum of 
$3.50 per acre is due and payable at the time of 
making entry. 

Villages Close Together. 
An interesting feature in connection with this 
project is the estaljlishment of villages every six 
miles. In connection with the Fort Shaw Unit 
already opened the villages of Fort Shaw and 
Simms have been established and town lots may 
be purchased at the local land office at Great 
Falls. 



MONTANA - NORTH DAKOTA LOWER YELLOWSTONE 

PROJECT. 

Several Thriving Villages on This Project — Abundance of Lignite Fuel in the 

Vicinity. 



The project provides for the diversion of water 
from the Yellowstone River at a point 18 miles 
northeast of Glendive, Montana, and will ulti- 
mately irrigate 65,000 acres of land, for 47,000 
acres of which the works have been completed 
and the water is now available. Two-thirds of 
the lands to be irrigated are in Montana, the bal- 
ance in North Dakota. The lands are traversed 
by the line of the Missouri River Railway, grad- 
ing for which has been completed and trains will 
be operated over same in the fall of 1910. The 
lands are also tributary to the Great Northern 
Railway on the north and the Northern Pacific 
Railway on the south. 

Soils Easily Cultivated. 

The general elevation is 1.900 feet above sea 
level, and the temperature ranges from 30 de- 
grees below to 100 above zero. The soil is a 
deep, sandy loam, easy to cultivate and very 
fertile. Alfalfa, the great forage crop of the 
West, is especially adapted to the soil and cli- 
mate. Small grains are raised with success and 
it is believed that sugar beets will be a profitable 
crop. The crop yields for 1909 w'ere abundant. 
There are several thriving villages on the proj- 
ect. Minneapolis, St. Paul and local towns fur- 



nish markets for the produce. The average 
I'ainfall is 16 inches. Surrounding the project is 
one of the largest and best grazing areas in the 
United States, providing a fine range for vast 
numbers of cattle and sheep. An abundance of 
lignite for fuel is found throughout this section. 
The principal engineering features consist of a 
diversion dam 12 feet high and 700 feet long, 146 
miles of canals and the development of 290 horse- 
power. 

Lands $3 Per Acre. 

The building charge has been fixed at $42.50 per 
acre of irrigable land, payable in not more than 
ten annual installments, each not less than $4.25 
per acre. The annual charge for maintenance 
and operation is $1.00 per acre. The lands have 
practically all been filed on but as the farm unit 
has been fixed at SO acres many of the settlers 
will be obliged to relinquish a portion of their 
holdings. In addition to these relinquishments 
the irrigable railroad lands are on the market 
and may be purchased at $3.00 per acre. Private 
lands may also be purchased at prices varying 
from $15.00 to $25.00 per acre and considering 
quality of land, location and productiveness, are 
very low priced.

Opportunities Offered on Irrigated Land — Nevada, Nebraska, Wyoming. 



NEBRASKA-WYOMING NORTH PLATTE PROJECT. 

150 Miles of Canals — Capacity of Reservoir, 1,025 Feet — Watershed, 12,000 

Square Miles. 



This project is located about 100 miles north of 
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and extends along the North 
Platte River. About 80,000 acres of land prac- 
tically all of which has been filed upon will be 
supplied with water in 1910. The land is tribu- 
tary to the Chicago and Northwestern, Burling- 
ton and Missouri River, and Union Pacific Rail- 
roads. The average elevation is 4,100 feet above 
sea level, and the temperature ranges from 25 
degrees below to 100 degrees above zero. The 
average annual rainfall on the irrigable area is 
about 15 inches. 

Soil Very Fertile. 

The soil is a fertile, sandy loam, quite free 
from alkali, and requiring 2i^ acre-feet of water 
per acre per annum. Alfalfa is the principal 
crop, but cereals, sugar beets and potatoes are 
successfully grown. Excellent range country 
borders the irrigable lands in Wyoming. 

The farm unit has been fixed at 80 acres, and 
the building charge is $45 per acre. There will 
be an annual charge for operation and mainte- 
nance after the second year. All accrued in- 
stallments must be paid at the time of entry. 
The watershed area is 12,000 square miles, and 



the estimated annual run-off of watershed at 
Pathfinder dam is 1,500,000 acre-feet. 

Canal 150 Miles Long. 

The principal engineering features consist of a 
storage dam forming what is known as The 
Pathfinder Reservoir on the North Platte River, 
about 50 miles southwest of Caspar, Wyoming, a 
diversion dam 150 miles down the river at 
Whalen. Wyoming, and the interstate canal 150 
miles long. The Pathfinder dam is a concrete 
rubble masonry arch 218 feet high and 432 feet 
long on top. It is completed and the reservoir 
has a capacity of 1,025,000 acre-feet. The diver- 
sion dam at Whalen is a reinforced concrete weir 
25 feet high and 300 feet long. A diversion dam 
is also planned to be constructed at Guernsey, 
Wyoming, for diverting water into a canal to 
cover lands in Goshen Hole, in eastern Wyoming 
and western Nebraska, which are now with- 
drawn from entry. 

The lands in Wyoming must be filed on at the 
land office at Cheyenne, Wyoming, and those in 
Nebraska at the land office at Alliance, Ne- 
braska. 



NEVADA TRUCKEE-CARSON PROJECT. 

Canals, 600 Miles — Irrigates 260,000 Acres — Contains Several Storage Reser- 

Homesteads Open to Entry. 



voirs 



This project is located in western Nevada, in 
Churchill, Lyon and Storey counties, Townships 
17 to 20 North, Ranges 17 to 31 East, M. D. M. 
The first unit of the project was opened in 1907 
and lands are now subject to homestead entry. 
In addition to the land office filing fee each set- 
tler is required to pay .$3 per acre annually for 
ten years, without interest on deferred pay- 
ments. An annual maintenance fee of 60 cents 
per acre is charged in addition. The first pay- 
ment of $3.60 per acre must be paid at the time 
of filing on the land. The farm unit is 80 acres. 

Three Feet Depth Water Required. 

The climate in this valley is healthful and mfld. 
The elevation above sea level is about 4,000 feet, 
and the temperature ranges from zero to 112 
degrees F. It is so dry, however, that the ex- 
tremes, which seldom occur, are not injurious. 
The average rainfall on the irrigable area is 4 
inches per annum. The soil is sandy loam, clay 
loam, and volcanic ash, requiring 3 acre-feet of 
water per annum for each acre. The valley will 
produce every variety of crop grown in the north 
temperate zone. Alfalfa, wheat, barley, and oats 
grow luxuriantly, and corn is also a profitable 



crop. Apples, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries, 
potatoes and garden vegetables do well and find 
a ready market in the nearby mining towns. The 
Southern Pacific and Nevada and California Rail- 
roads traverse the tract and furnish transporta- 
tion to the markets of the country. 

The watershed area is 3,450 square miles, the 
annual rainfall on the watershed, 25 inches, and 
the estimated run-off, 1,000,000 acre-feet. 

Homesteads Open for Entry. 

A dam has been built on Truckee River, near 
Wadsworth, to turn the flow of the stream into 
a canal 31 miles long, which carries the waters 
to Carson River. Here a diversion dam turns 
the waters as needed into two main canals. The 
first unit of this project, which is now complete, 
involves more than 600 miles of canals and lat- 
erals, 50,000 feet of dikes and the dams on 
Truckee and Carson Rivers. The project in its 
entirety will irrigate about 260,000 acres of land 
and will involve the construction of several stor- 
age reservoirs and the development of power. A 
limited number of homesteads are at present 
open to entry.

Irrigated Lands in New Mexico and Texas. 



NEW MEXICO CARLSBAD PROJECT. 

Principal Crops, Peaches, Pears, Apples, Cherries, Small Fruits, Alfalfa, Cotton 

and Garden Truck. 



Tlie principal works under the Carlsbad project 
include the reconstruction of canals and storage 
reservoirs on Pecos River, in Eddy County, which 
were built to irrigate about 20,000 acres of land. 
These lands are all in private ownership, but 
several thousand acres are included in excess 
holdings and may be purchased. The price of 
these lands varies from $20 to $60 per acre. The 
cost of water right is $31 per acre, payable in 
ten annual installments, and the annual mainte- 
nances and operation fee is $1.35 per acre. 

The general elevation is 3,100 feet above sea 
level, and the temperature ranges from zero to 
110 degrees above. The soil is a light, sandy 



alluvium, and very fertile. The principal crops 
in the valley are peaches, pears, apples, cherries, 
small fruits, alfalfa, cotton, sweet potatoes, 
celery and garden truck. Fodder, corn, cane and 
milo maize produce good crops. Stock raising is 
very profitable, owing to the extensive range 
lands on the east and west. The Santa Fe Rail- 
way furnishes transportation facilities to nearby 
markets and to Denver and Chicago. 

The watershed area is 22,000 square miles, the 
average annual rainfall on watershed area is IH 
inches, and the estimated annual run-off, 150,000 
acre-feet. The average annual rainfall on the 
irrigable area is 15 inches. 



NEW MEXICO HONDO PROJECT. 

Fertile Alluvium Soil Growing Alfalfa, Corn, Fruits and Vegetables in Abundance. 



The Hondo project provides for the diversion 
and storage of the flood waters from Hondo 
River, a tributary of the Pecos, to irrigate 10,000 
acres of land in Chaves County, near Roswell. 
The lands are all in private ownership, but ex- 
cess holdings may be purchased at reasonable 
prices. The general elevation is 3,750 feet above 
sea level, and the temperature ranges from to 
100 degrees above zero. The soil is a fertile 



alluvium and requires 2V2 acre-feet of water per 
acre per annum. Alfalfa, corn, fruits and vege- 
tables produce abundantly when properly wa- 
tered. The Santa Fe Railway furnishes trans- 
portation facilities. 

The watershed area is 1,037 square miles, the 
average annual rainfall on watershed is 17 inches, 
and the estimated annual run-off is 40.000 acre- 
feet. 



NEW MEXICO -TEXAS RIO GRANDE PROJECT. 

Reservoir 190 Feet Deep at Lower End — Dam 265 Feet High, 45 Miles Long, 
With Storage Capacity of 2,538,000 Acre-Feet. 



This project contemplates the reclamation of 
185,000 acres of land, 110,000 of which are in New 
Mexico, 45.000 in Texas, and 25,000 in Mexico, 
which are provided for by the Treaty proclaimed 
January 16, 1907. 

Connects With Old Canal. 

The Leasburg dam for the first unit of the Rio 
Grande project is completed, diverting water for 
25.000 acres in Mesilla Valley. It is of concrete, 
600 feet long, with sluice and head gates. From 
the diversion dam six miles of canal were con- 
structed to connect with the old I.as Cruces 
Canal. 

Reservoir 45 Miles Long. 

The Engle dam, which is planned to be con- 
structed across the Rio Grande, opposite Engle. 
will be rubble concrete gravity type, 265 feet 
high, 1,480 feet long on top, and will create a 
reservoir 190 feet deep at its lower end and 45 
miles long with a storage capacity of 2,538,000 



acre-feet. Work is being prosecuted rapidl.\'. 
The valley has good railroad facilties and con- 
tains many thriving towns, of which El Paso. 
Texas, is the metropolis. 

Requires 2^2 Feet Water. 

The general elevation is 3,700 feet above sea 
level and the temperature ranges from zero to 
100 degrees above. The average annual rainfall 
on the irrigable area is 9.5 inches. Tlie soil is a 
fertile alluvium, requiring 214 acre-feet of water 
per acre per annum. It produces abundant crops 
when sufficient water is applied, the principal 
products being alfalfa, corn, fruit, vegetables and 
melons. 

Watershed 37,000 Square Miles. 

The watershed area is 37,000 square miles; the 
average annual rainfall on watershed is un- 
known, but the estimated annual run-off is 800,- 
000 acre-feet.

Opportunities Given on Irrigated Lands in North Dakota. 



NORTH DAKOTA PUMPING PROJECTS. 
Pumps Run by Power Obtained From Lignite Coal — Pumps on Floating Barges. 



The Government has two pumping projects In 
western North Dakota which raise water from 
the Missouri River to irrigate bench lands which 
cannot he reached by feasible gravity systems. 

Williston Project— The initial unit of this proj- 
ect includes about 8,000 acres of bench and 
valley lands surrounding Williston, but the sys- 
tem may be enlarged to cover 12,000 acres. The 
general elevation is 1,875 feet above sea level, 
and the temperature ranges from 45 degrees be- 
low to 107 degrees above zero. The soil of the 
bottom lands is a heavy clay, but the bench lands 
are a rich, sandy loam, requiring 2 acre-feet of 
water per acre per annum. The principal crops 
grown are wheat, flax and oats. The supply of 
oats is always far short of the demand. 

For Winter Feed. 

Alfalfa is profitable grown for winter feed, and 
sugar beets are likely to become an important 
crop. Small fruits do well and dairy farms and 
market gardens are needed. The State experi- 
ment farm, near Williston. is of assistance in 
demonstrating the value and methods of irriga- 
tion to the farmers. 

Government Townsite. 

The main line of the Great Northern Railroad 
passes through Williston, which is the distribut- 
ing point for a large area north and south of it. 
Land has been reserved for a Government town- 
site about eight miles north of Williston. A 
daily rui'al delivery is maintained over the proj- 
ect. 

The building charge on this project has been 
fixed at $38.00 per acre of irrigable land, payable 
in not more than ten annual installments, each 
not less than $3.80 per acre. An additional an- 
nual charge of 70 cents per acre is also required 
for operation and maintenance, and 50 cents per 
acre-foot of water actually pumped and deliv- 
ered for irrigation in any one year. The first 
installment of $4.50 per acre is due and payable 
at the time of filing water right application. 



Power From Lignite Coal. 

The engineering features are unique. On ac- 
count of the low fall of the river gravity canals 
were not feasible, and pumping was resorted to 
with power generated with lignite coal, vast de- 
posits of which are found in this vicinity, on 
Government land. The power plant is located 
near one of the coal outcrops, the fuel being 
mined and delivered by gravity to the boilers. 
The power is converted to electricity and trans- 
mitted to the various pumping stations, some of 
which are 28 miles distant. On account of the un- 
stable character of the river banks the pumps 
have been placed on floating barges connected to 
the shore by flexible pipes. The water is pumped 
to settling basins from which canals carry it 
over the lands. 

Power Distributed 28 Miles. 

Buford -Trenton Project — This project em- 
braces about 12.500 acres of bench and bottom 
lands bordering the north bank of the Missouri 
River for about twenty miles east of the Mon- 
tana-North Dakota State line, and lying along 
the Great Northern Railroad. Power for the 
pumps on this project is developed at the main 
power station at Williston, and is transmitted 
electrically over a transmission line 28 miles 
long. 

Required to Sell. 

The climate and crop conditions are practically 
the same as those at Williston. Practically all 
the land is in private ownership, but farmers 
owning more than 160 acres are required to sell 
their excess holdings, and farms can be bought 
at from $15.00 to $25.00 per acre. 

Grazing Land Included. 

The farm unit for public lands is from 40 to 
80 acres of irrigable land, depending upon loca- 
tion, and wherever practicable a tract of grazing 
land has been included in the farm unit bringing 
the total up to 120 or 160 acres. The building, 
operation and maintenance charge and charge for 
water actually pumped are the same as under 
the Williston project. 



OREGON UMATILLA PROJECT. 

Climatic Conditions Favorable for Early Ripening and Marketing of Small Fruits 

— Bees Very Profitable. 



The Umatilla project is located 190 miles east of i 15,000 acres principally in private ownership. 



Portland, Oregon, in Umatilla County, and con- 
tains about 25,000 acres of irrigable land border- 
ing upon Columbia River immediately east of 
Umatilla River. Water is now available for 



Some excellent homesteads, however, yet remain 
open to entry. Lands may be purchased from 
settlers having holdings in excess of 160 acres. 
In the spring of 1911 the fourth unit of about 



76 



ii 



Oregon and California Irrigated Lands. 



5,000 acres with a large number of good home- 
steads was opened to entry. The farm unit on 
public lands is limited to 10 or 20 acres. 

Building Charges. 

The total building charge is $60 per acre, and 
the annual operation and maintenance at present 
is $1.30 per acre. The building cliarge may be 
paid in not more tlian ten annual payments, each 
not less than $6 per acre. With all new entries, 
or water right applications, payment must be 
made of all accumulated charges. 

Very Fine Honey Produced. 

The land to be irrigated all lies below an ele- 
vation of 600 feet above sea level. Climatic con- 
ditions are extremely favorable for the early 
ripening and marketing of small fruits, for which 
the soil is especially suited, as well as for the 
raising of all kinds of deciduous fruits. Alfalfa 
is profitably grown, but the land is too valuable 
for pasture crops. Hogs and poultry raising pay 
well, and bee colonies are very profitable, the 
honey being exceptionally fine. Not only is the 
land fertile in a high degree, and the climate 
such as will permit of the raising of high-priced 
crops, but the transportation facilities are of 
the best. In addition to the Oregon Railroad and 
Navigation Company's line, which skirts the 
western end of the project, and the Spokane 



branch, running through the northern portion, 
there will be available the Columbia River, which, 
as soon as the Celilo Locks, now under con- 
struction, are completed, will afford open naviga- 
tion to Portland and Astoria. The Northern Pa- 
cific has built a line of railroad from Pasco to 
Portland, on the north bank of the Columbia. 

Watershed 1,610 Square Miles. 
The watershed area is 1,610 square miles, the 
average rainfall on watershed 20 inches, and the 
estimated annual run-off 530,000 acre-feet. The 
average annual rainfall on the irrigable area is 
9 inches. 

Distributing Canals 133 Miles. 
The engineering works include a storage reser- 
voir having a capacity of 50.000 acre-feet, which 
is supplied with water by an inlet canal from 
the Umatilla River. There are 133 miles of dis- 
tributing canals. A by-pass canal has been con- 
structed through which water may be turned 
from the inlet canal directly into the distributing 
system without passing through the reservoir. 

Opportunities for Business. 

There are good opportunities for merchants, 
mechanics and professional men in the towns of 
Hermiston, Umatilla and Echo, which are grow- 
ing rapidly. 



OREGON-CALIFORNIA KLAMATH PROJECT. 

To Be Reclaimed, 127,000 Acres, Improving Lake and Swamp Bottoms. 



The Klamath project contemplates the reclama- 
tion of 127,000 acres of land situated in Klamath 
County, Oregon, and Modoc and Siskiyou coun- 
ties, California. The plans involve, in addition to 
the irrigation of the valley lands, the reclamation 
by drainage and future irrigation of a portion of 
the Lower Klamath and Tule Lakes, lands which 
are now either swamp or lake bottoms. Prac- 
tically all the uplands, which include the greater 
part of the project, are held in private owner- 
ship, much being in large holdings which, under 
the terms of the Reclamation Act, must be sub- 
divided into tracts of not to exceed 160 acres, 
as this is the maximum area for which water can 
be furnished to individual owners. The public 
lands under the project, which include a large 
portion of the lake and swamp areas, are at 
present withdrawn from entry. When these are 
restored to entry homesteaders may file appli- 
cations for available lands. 

Potatoes an Important Crop. 

The general elevation of the irrigable area is 
4,100 feet above sea level, and the temperature 
ranges from 5 degrees below zero to 100 degrees 
above. The soil is exceedingly fertile, being de- 
composed basalt with rich deposits on the lake 
bottoms. The duty of water is 1.8 acre-feet per 
acre per annum. The principal crops grown are 
alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley, rye, vegetables, and 
some deciduous fruits. Potatoes are an impor- 



tant crop, the yield and quality being excellent. 
The climate is especially adapted to dairying 
and stock raising and forage crops grow to per- 
fection. 

The principal town is Klamath Falls, located 
on Link River, and having about 2,500 inhab- 
itants. Other towns in the valley are Merrill, 
situated near Tule Lake, Bonanza, on Lost River, 
within the so-called Upper Project, and several 
villages. The California and Northeastern Rail- 
way, a branch of the Southern Pacific road, 'is 
now built through the project, and affords trans- 
portation for the farm products to Portland, San 
Francisco and other coast markets. 

Watershed 3,700 Square Miles. 
The entire watershed area is 3,700 square miles, 
and the estimated run-off, 1,700,000 acre-feet. 
The annual average rainfall on the watershed area 
is 20 inches, but the rainfall on the irrigable 
area is only 15 inches. 

Maintenance 75 Cents Per Acre. 

The building charge for the first unit of this 
project has been fixed at $30 per acre of irrigable 
land, and the operation and maintenance charge 
at present is 75 cents per acre each year. Ail 
installments for building and operation and main- 
tenance, each $3.75 per acre, then due, must be 
paid at the time of making water right appli- 
cation.

Opportunities in South Dakota and Utah Irrigated Land. 



SOUTH DAKOTA BELLE FOURCHE PROJECT. 

Reclamation of 102,000 Acres Contemplated — Little North of the Black Hills. 



When completed this project will reclaim about 
102,000 acres of land lying north and northeast 
of the Black Hills, in Butte and Meade counties, 
South Dakota. Only part of this land has been 
filed on. Water is now available for about 47,- 
000 acres. There is a large amount of land in 
private ownership which, on account of the limit 
of the individual water supply to 160 acres, is 
offered for sale at from $20 to $30 per acre, de- 
pending upon improvements and location. The 
farm unit on public lands is 80 acres, except with- 
in two miles of townsites, where it is 40 acres. 
Settlers are required to pay a building charge of 
$30 per acre, and an annual charge of 40 cents to 
60 cents per acre for operation and maintenance. 

Excellent Market In Black Hills. 

The average elevation is 2,800 feet above sea 
level. The climate is delightful, with little snow 
in winter, the temperature ranging from 20 de- 
grees below to 95 degrees above zero. As in 
other parts of the arid region, the sensible tem- 
perature does not vary so much, owing to the 
dryness of the atmosphere. The soil is about 
equally divided between clay loam and sandy 
loam, exceedingly fertile and free from excessive 
alkali. Fruits, such as apples, cherries, plums. 
and small fruits, do well, especially on the higher 
portions of the project near the bluffs, and po- 
tatoes can be raised on the south side of the 
river, where the soil is more sandy. The main 
crop, however, is alfalfa and native hay, which 



is in great demand for winter feed, the great 
number of cattle and sheep summer pastured on 
the open range surrounding the project creating 
a constant demand for alfalfa. All the fruits 
and vegetables that can be raised on the project 
can be sold at the mining camps in the Black 
Hills. The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad 
passes through the town of Belle Fourche, which 
is one of the largest live stock shipping points 
in the United States. This road has also buiit 
a line through the center of the project on which 
the new towns of Fruitdale, Nisland, and Newell 
are rapidly coming to the front. 

Reservoir Makes Largest Lake in the State. 

The engineering work on this project involves 
the consti'uction of one of the largest earth em- 
bankments in the country, which is being built 
in a depression between two hills, and is now 
nearly finished. It will be 115 feet high, 20 feet 
wide on top, and more than a mile long. The 
reservoir tlius created will be filled with water 
by an^ inlet canal from the Belle Fourche River 
and will be the largest lake in the State. 

The reservoir is being used for the storage of 
sufficient water for 50,000 acres during the season 
of 1910. 

The watershed area is 4,300 square miles, the 
average annual rainfall on watershed 20 to 30 
inches, and the estimated annual run-off 400,000 
acre-feet. 



UTAH STRAWBERRY VALLEY PROJECT. 

Water Carried Through Mountains by Tunnel Four Miles Long. 



This project provides for the irrigation of about 
60,000 acres of land in Utah and Wasatch coun- 
ties, on the eastern shore of Utah Lake. The 
water supply will be obtained from a storage 
reservoir wliich is being built in Strawberry 
Valley, about 30 miles east of the irrigable area. 
By means of a tunnel four miles long the stored 
waters will be carried through tlie mountains 
and emptied into Spanish Fork, from which a 
canal IS to 20 miles long will convey them to 
the irrigable area. Power created from the high 
line canal is now transmitted electrically to the 
tunnel for drilling and later will be utilized to 
pump water to lands above the gravity system, 
and for drainage of low-lying lands. 

The lands have an elevation of about 4,600 feet 
and the temperature ranges from 10 degrees 
below to 95 degrees above zero. The soil is a 



sandy loam and gravel, with a deep black soil in 
the bottom lands, and is exceedingly fertile. 
Alfalfa, hay, cereals, sugar beets, fruits and 
vegetables are grown. Settlers are getting ready 
to plant orchards as soon as water is available. 
The lands are all in private ownership and ex- 
isting canals are being enlarged to form part 
of the Government system. It is possible to pur- 
chase lands at reasonable prices from present 
owners. 

Artesian Water. 
The watershed area is 200 square miles, the 
annual rainfall on watershed 45 inches, and the 
estimated annual run-off 125,000 acre-feet. This 
valley has one of the finest domestic water sup- 
plies in the West, artesian water being found 
at no great depth.

Fruit Raising on the Irrigated Lands of Washington. 



WASHINGTON OKANOGAN PROJECT. 

In Twenty Years of History Never a Failure of Fruit Crop From Frost. 



This project is designed to supply water to 
10.000 acres of land in Okanogan County, Wash- 
ington. The soil is volcanic ash, sand and 
gravel, and is very fertile. Grain, hay, fruit, 
nuts and vegetables are grown, but the principal 
crop is apples. The elevation of the land is about 
1,000 feet above sea level. 

Never a Failure of Fruits. 

The temperature ranges from 10 degrees below 
to 105 degrees above zero. In the history of 
twenty years of fruit growing in the valley frost 
has never injured the crops, and there has never 
been a failure with apples, peaches, plums, prunes, 
apricots, pears, cherries, nectarines, grapes or 
any variety of small berries grown there. 

Excess Lands for Sale. 

On account of the possibilities of high develop- 
ment in this section the farm imit has been fixed 
at 40 acres. The building charge is $65 per 



acre of irrigable land, and the operation and 
maintenance charge at present amounts to $1.50 
per acre per annum. The lands are all entered, 
but excess holdings may be purchased at fi-om 
$150 to $300 per acre. 

Dam 60 Feet High, 1,000 Feet Long. 
One of the interesting engineering features is 
a storage dam 60 feet high and 1,000 feet long, 
which has been built by the hydraulic fill process. 
A railroad connecting with the Great Nortiiern at 
Oroville is being built down the valley of the 
Okanogan to the Columbia River. This will 
give the project excellent transportation facilities. 

Watershed 150 Square Miles. 

The watershed area is 150 square miles, the 
average annual rainfall on watershed 17 inches 
and the estimated annual run-off 30.000 acre-feet. 
The annual rainfall on the irrigable area is 8 
inches. 



WASHINGTON YAKIMA PROJECT. 

To Store Water for 460,000 Acres — Lands Valued at $300 to $1,000 per Acre for 

Fruit Raising, 



On the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains, 
in Washington, is a succession of valleys in the 
drainage of the Yakima River. It is estimated 
that with storage the water supply is sufficient 
for about 460,000 acres of land. Storage is being 
provided by erecting dams at the outlets of sev- 
eral mountain lakes, the capacity of which when 
ultimately developed, will total 930,000 acre-feet. 
The development of a comprehensive system of 
irrigation in Yakima Valley will be accomplished 
by the successive construction of several units 
of a general project, the work being gradually 
extended to embrace the entire irrigable area. 

Lands Worth From $300 to $1,000 Per Acre. 

Teton Unit — The lands under this unit are in 
Yakima County, near the city of North Yakima. 
The engineering features are difficult and ex- 
pensive. For 12 m.iles the main canal is ex- 
cavated along the steep sides of the Teton Can- 
yon, and in five places the canyon walls are 
tunneled, the total length of the tunnels being 
more than two miles. The lands to be irrigated 
are rolling, and the distriVjution system will also 
be expensive. . In order to replace in the Naches 
River the water needed to supply prior appro- 
priations, it was necessary for the Government 
to construct storage works at Bumping Lake, 
Wash., on the headwaters of that stream. The 
lands, embracing somewhat over .?5.000 acres, are 
nearly all in private ownership, and the land- 
owners are confident that the results will justify 
the expenditures, as the lands in the vicinity. 



not more favorably situated for fruit raising, 
range in value from $300 to $1,000 per acre. The 
elevation is from 1,300 to 2,100 feet above sea 
level and the temperature ranges from 21 below 
zero to 102 degrees above. The soil is a volcanic 
ash, exceedingly fertile, and although a great 
variety of crops could be grown the lands are 
so valuable that it is probable the principal crops 
will be fruit and hops. The lands are tributarj' 
to the Northern Pacific Railway which has North 
Y'akima for its nearest station to the unit. Flood 
water is being delivered on a rental basis to about 
2.000 acres and additional areas will be irrigated 
in 1911. The cost of water right has not yet 
been determined. 

Sunnyside Unit — The first unit of this system 
is now available for 11,590 acres of land in addi- 
tion to the 40,000 acres under the old canal. The 
cost of water right is $52 per acre, payable in 
not more than ten annual installments, and the 
operation and maintenance charge at present is 
95 cents per acre of irrigable land. Work on the 
system consists of the enlargement and extension 
of the existing Sunnyside Canal, which was pur- 
chased by the Government. The extension of 
this system will cover more than 50.000 acres 
of new land. The project lies in Yakima and 
Benton counties, and embraces the towns of 
Parker, Zillah, Outlook, Sunnyside, Granger, 
Grandview, Belma. Mabton and Prosser. Tlie 
average elevation is 700 feet above sea level and 
the temperature ranges from 21 below zero to 
110 degrees above.

Attractions of Wyoming on the Irrigated Lands. 



Three Feet of Water. 

The so'l is deep volcanic asli and gravel, and 
requires three acre-feet of water per acre per 
annum. Tlie farm unit is 40 and 80 acres of 
irrigable land. Forage, hops, vegetables and 
fruits are grown. The orchards of Yakima Valley 
are famous for their yields of fine fruits. 

Notice Given of Opening. 

Wapato Unit— The irrigable lands under this 
unit are in the Yakima Indian Reservation. There 
are about 116,000 acres susceptible of irrigation, 
15,000 acres of which are now receiving water 
during high water periods through canal systems 
constructed by the Indians. The soil and trans 
portation facilities are excellent. For the recla- 
mation of these lands, the plans provide for the 
enlargement of the old and new reservation 
canals which were built with triba! funds, the 
building of other canals and laterals, and the 
storage of over 200,000 acre-feet of water in 



Yakima lakes. Due notice of a formal opening 
wil! be made by the Secretary of the Interior 
through the public press. 

In Market Later. 
Kittitas Unit — This unit contemplates the irri- 
gation of land in the vicinity of Ellensburg. A 
canal 90 miles long will bring water from the 
Yakima River just above Easton. The growing 
season is somewhat shorter here than in the 
lower valleys, but the lands are well adapted 
to diversified farming. This is the dairying sec- 
tion of eastern Washington and the soil and cli- 
mate are favorable for the growing of cer:;als, 
timothy, vegetables and winter apple.?. Construc- 
tion work has not begun on this unit. 

West Bank Columbia River. 
Benton Unit — The lands under this project lie 
on the west bank of the Columbia River, from 
Kennewick to Priest Rapids. Work has not yet 
commenced on this unit. 



WYOMING SHOSHONE PROJECT. 

Has Highest Dam in the World — Elevation From Bed Rock, 328.4 Feet. 



The project involves the construction of an 
impounding dam at the head of the canyon of 
the Shoshone River in northern Wyoming and 
the diversion of the waters for the irrigation of 
about 155,000 acres of land. This dam, the high- 
est in the world, was completed in the winter of 
1909-1910. Fifteen thousand acres were opened 
to entry in 1908 and a similar area was opened 
May 22, 1909, and so rapidly have these lands 
been taken up that work is now being pushed 
on the third unit of a similar area. 

Climate Very Delightful. 

The elevation is about 4,500 feet above sea 
level, and the temperature ranges from 20 be- 
low to 95 degrees above zero. The climate is 
dry and delightful and the soil of light, sandy 
and clay loams, produces abundantly when water 
is applied. Alfalfa, hay, wheat, oats, barley 
and vegetables can be grown; also potatoes, 
sugar beets and fruits. Large numbers of cattle 
and sheep are pastured on the surrounding 
ranges during the greater part of the year, but 
require feeding in the winter months, so that 
there is always a good home market for hay. 
Hog and poultry raising are also very profitable. 
Annual Maintenance $1 Per Acre. 

The farm unit varies from 40 to 80 acres of 
irrigable land. The building charge is $46.00 
per acre of irrigable land, payable in ten annual 
installments. The annual maintenance and op- 
eration charge at present is $1.00 per acre, one- 
tenth of the building charge and one year's main- 
tenance charge, or $5.60 per acre, are due at 
_ the time of filing. All new entries must be ac- 
companied by payment of the charges, for op- 
eration and maintenance which have accumulated 
since 1909. 

The tract is traversed by the Chicago. Bur- 



lington and Quincy Railroad, and has good trans- 
portation facilities to the big markets of the 
Mississippi Valley. Denver, and the Pacific Coast. 

Watershed 1,380 Square Miles. 

The watershed area is 1,380 square miles, the 
average annual rainfall on watershed 15 inches, 
and the estimated annual run-off is 1,000,000 
acre-feet. The rainfall on the irrigable area is 
from 6 to 10 inches. 

Highest Dam Known. 

Considerable interest attaches to the engineer- 
ing work on this project, as the Shoshone dam 
is the highest structure of its kind in the world. 
It is 328.4 feet hi^h from bed rock to top of 
parapet walls, 108 feet thick on the bottom and 
only 200 feet long on top. The reservoir created 
by it has an area of 6,600 acres and a capacity 
of 456,000 acre-feet. The diversion dam, which 
turns the waters of the river through a tunnel 
3 1-3 miles long into the main canal, is a rein- 
forced concrete masonry structure 18 feet high 
and 400 feet long. 

Several Flourishing Towns. 

Four flourishing towns, Cody, Garland, Powell 
and Ralston, are located on the project. They 
contain schools, churches, banks, newspapers, 
manufacturing establishments, hotels, stores, etc., 
and offer opportunities for professional and busi- 
ness men and artisans. 

Timber and Coal. 

The surrounding mountains are covered with 
spruce and fir and supply the farmers with timber 
and the stockmen with summer range. Coal 
mines located in the vicinity supply cheap fuel 
for domestic and manufacturing purposes. Well 
water of good quality is found at depths varying 
from 30 to 50 feet.

KANSAS 



I'nlitical Foment in lis Karly llihlory — Later Devastated by Drouth and Grasshoppers — I'inally 
Triumphs 0\er All Diftioulties and Becomes a Most Prosperous State 



The geographical center of the T'nited States.— 
A state visited by a great number of catastrophes 
of which the people have been victims. 

Kansas is the center of the United States. The 
exact geographical center, exclusive of Alaska, lies 
near Manhattan, in Riley county, Kansas, about 100 
miles west of Kansas City. 

The width of the state is 400 miles from east 
to west, and in length 210 miles from north to 
south. Its area covers 82,0,S0 square miles, being 
larger than New England; twice as large as Ken- 
tucky, Ohio, or Indiana, and larger than New York 
and Indiana combined. 

Kansas has been more frequently mentioned in 
recent history than any other western state. 
Everything about Kansas was remarkable. Here 
w^as " the great American Desert, here were the 
vast buffalo herds, here lived the droutli stricken 
I)eople of other years, here was grasshopper head- 
(|uarters, here was the contest between the free 
state settlers and the pro-slavery denizens who 
came in from Missouri determined to make Kansas 
a slave state. 

Here Lawrence, Topeka, Ossawatomie. and other 
towns, were settled by people from New England, 
sent out bv the Massachusetts emigrant aid society 
to make the state politically anti-slavery. Here 
.John Brown, of Harper's Ferry notoriety, began his 
anti-slavery crusades, resulting in murder and ex- 
citement in IS.".", here Quantrell and a band of pro- 



slavery guerillas burned Lawrence and killed 185 
persons in 1863. 

DROUTH, GRASSHOPPERS AND HARD TIMES. 

Here drouth, grasshoppers and hard times com- 
pelled great numbers of the people to mortgage 
their properties to eastein capitalists. For the 
purpose of investigating the cause of the evil con- 
ditions that had fallen upon Kansas, here gathered 
the people in every district into their school houses, 
and these men and women discussed free silver, 
gold standard, monopoly, trusts and the tariff. Here 
they talked and talked and acquired such practice 
and fluency in oral discussions as to enable great 
nuiTibers of men and woinen to go forth from Kan- 
sas highly accomplished public speakers. 

Here again the rains fell, the wheat and corn- 
fields responded in over bountiful supply, the gran- 
aries and barns were filled to overflowing, the 
mortgages were paid, the farmers opened bank 
accounts, the school house gatherings are no longer 
held, while the Kansas orators, with the tillers 
of the soil, aided by favoring climatic conditions, 
have settled down to the making of money from 
their exceedingly fertile soil. 

Great as Kansas is In area, in intellectuality of 
people, in stirring events of the past. In wealth of 
agriculture and natural resources, it seems strange 
not to speak of Kansas in any other way tlian in 
the superlative degree.

Kansas Described 



In Speech of Hon. J. J. Ingralls, rormerly I nited States Senator i loin Kansas. In "A Kansas Souvenir." 
Published by the Kansas Immigration and In.crmation Associali.m, «e 1 ind the lollowing: 



Kansas is the navel of the nation. 

Diagonals drawn from Dulutli to Galveston; from 
Washington to San Francisco; from Tallahasse to 
Oljnipia; from Sacramento to Augusta, intersect at 
its center. 

Kansas is the nucleus of our political system, 
around which its forces assemble; to which its ener- 
gies converge; and from which its energies radiate 
to the remotest circumference. 

Kansas is the focus of freedom, where the rays 
of heat and light concentrated into a flame that 
melted the manacles of the slave, and cauterized 
the heresies of state sovereignty and disunion. 

Kansas is the core and kernel of the country, 
containing tlie germs of its growth, and the quick- 
ening ideas essential to its perpetuity. 

It seems incredible that there was a time when 
Kansas did not exist; wlien its name was not writ- 
ten on the map of the United States; when tiie 
Kansas cyclone, tlie Kansas grasshopper, the Kansas 
boom, and the Kansas Utopia were unknown. 

I was a student in the junior class at Williams 
College, when President Pierce, forgotten but for 
that signature, approved the act establishing the 
Territory of Kansas. Jlay 30, 1S.j4. I recall the in- 
conceivable agitation that preceded, accompanied, 
and followed the event. It was an epoch. Destiny 
closed one volume of our annals, and opening an- 
other, traced with shadowy finger upon its pages a 
million epitaplis, ending with "Appomattox." 

Kansas was the prologue to a tragedy whose epi- 
logue has not yet been pronounced; the prelude to 
a fugue of battles whose reverberations have not 
yet died away. 

Floating one summer night upon a moonlit sea. 
1 heard far over tlie still waters a high, clear voice 
singing: 

•To the West! To the West! To the land of the free, 
Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the sea; 
Where a man is a man if he's willing to toil. 
And the humblest may gather the fruits of the soil." 

A few days later, my studies being completed, I 
.joined the uninterrupted and resistless column of 
volunteers that marched to the land of the free. 
St. Louis was a squalid border town, the outpost 
of civilization. 

The railroad ended at Jefferson City. Trans-con- 
tinental trains, with sleepers and dining cars, anni- 
hilating space and time, were the vague dream of 
a future century. 

Overtaking at Hermann a fragile steamer that 
had left her levee the day before, we embarked 
upon a monotonous voyage of four days along the 
treacherous and tortuous channel that crawled be- 
tween forests of Cottonwood and barren bars of 
tawny sand, to the frontier of the American Desert. 

It was the mission of the pioneer with his plough 
to abolish the frontier, and to subjugate the desert. 
One has become a boundary, and the other an oasis. 
But with so much acquisition, something has been 
lost for which there is no compensation or equiva- 
lent. He is unfortunate who has never felt tlie 
fascination of the frontier; the temptation of un- 
known and mysterious solitudes; the exultation of 
helping to built a State; of forming its institutions 
ancf giving direction to its career. 

Kansas, in ts rudimentary stage, extended west- 
ward six hundred and fifty-eight miles to the crest 
of the Rocky Mountains, the eastern boundary oi 
Utah. By subsequent amputation and curtailment, 
it was shorn to its present narrow limits of fifty-two 
million acres; three thousand square miles in excess 
of the entire area of New England. Denver, Mani- 
tou. Pueblo, Pike's Peak, and Cripple Creek are 
among the treasures which the State-makers of 
1859, like the base Indian, threw unconsciously 
a.way, though richer than all his tribe. 

Thirty years ago. along the eastern margin of the 
grassy quadrangle which geographers called Kansas, 
the rude forefathers of Atchison. Leavenworth. 
Wyandotte. Lawrence and Topeka slept in the inter- 
vals of their strife with the petty tyrants of their 
fields, and beyond their western horizon, the rest 
was silence, solitude, and the wilderness, to the Rio 



History. Believed to have been visited by Span- 
iards under Vasquez de Coronado in 1541. Partly 
explored by Frenchmen from I-ouisiana in ISlO-'iO. 
.-\fter an -.xciting contest between advocates of 
pro-slavery and free state, a constitutional conven- 
tion was held at Wyandotte. Kansas, in 1S5S). and a 
constitution adopted prohibiting slavery. In IStil 
Kansas was admitted to the Union. During the 
civil war 20,151 men went into the service in de- 
fense of the Union. In various parts of the State 
Indian massacres occurred between 1864 and 1870 
and locusts devoured the crops in 1874. 



Grande; to the Yellowstone; to the Sierra Xevad;i ; 
like the lonely steppes of Turkestan and Tartaiv; 
inhabited by wandering tribes, whose occupation wii.-s 
war; whose pastime was the chase; pastured for 
untold centuries by roaming herds that followed the 
seasons in their recurring migrations from the arctic 
circle to the Gulf. 

It has been sometimes obscurely intimated that 
the typical Kansan lacks in rescive, and occasion- 
ally exhibits a tendency to exaggeration in dwelling 
upon the development of the State, and the benefits 
and burdens of its citizenship. 

Censorious scoffers, actuated by envy, jealousy, 
malignity and other evil passions, have hinted that 
he unduly vaunteth himself; that he brags and bi,-- 
comes vainglorious; that he is given to bounce, tall 
talk, and magniloquence. 

There have not been wanting those who affirm that 
he magnifies his calamities as well as his blessings, 
and desires nothing so much as to have the name of 
Kansas, in any capacity, always in the ears and 
mouths of men. 

Such accusations are well calculated to make the 
judicious grieve. They result from a misconception 
of the man and his environment. 

The normal condition of the genuine Kansan is 
that of shy and sensitive diffidence. He suffers from 
excess of modesty. He blushes too easily. There is 
nothing he dislikes so much as to hear himself talk. 
He hides his light under a bushel. He keeps as near 
the tail end of the procession as possible. He never 
advertises. He bloweth not his own horn, and is in- 
different to the band wagon. 

He is oppressed by the vast responsibility of being 
an inhabitant of a commonwealth so immeasurably 
superior, in all the elements of present glory, in all 
the prophecies of future renown, to its inferior com- 
panions. 

To be a denizen of a State that surpasses all other 
communities, as Niagara excels all other cataracts, 
as the sun transcends all other luminaries, imposes 
obligations that render levity impossible. 

The every-day events of Kansas would be marvi'ls 
elsewhere; our platitudes would be panegyrics; the 
trite and commonplace arc unknown. It is impossi- 
ble to over-estimate the value of citizenship in a 
State that sent more soldiers into the Union armies 
than it had voters when Sumter fell; that exceeded 
all quotas without draft or bounty; that had the 
highest rate of mortality upon the field of battle. 
That a State so begotten and nurtured should be as 
indomitable in peace as it was invincible in war, was 
inevitable. Its gestation was heroic. It represented 
ideas and principles; conscience, patriotism, duty; 
the "unconquerable mind and freedom's lioly flame." 

No other State encountered such formidable obsta- 
cles of nature and fortune. Our disasters and catas- 
trophes have been monumental. Swarms of locusts 
eclipsing the sun in their flight, whose incredible 
voracity left the forests, and the orchards, and the 
fields of June as naked as December; drouths chang- 
ing the sky to brass and the earth to iron; siroccos 
that in a day devastated provinces and reduced 
thousands from comfort to penury — these and the 
other destructive agencies of the atmosphere have 
been met by a courage that no danger could daunt, 
and by a constancy unshaken b.v adversity. 

The statistics of the census tables are more elo- 
quent than the tropes and phrasis of the rhetorician. 
The story of Kansas needs no reinforcement from the 
imagination. Its arithmetic is more dazzling and 
bewildering than poetry, and the historian is com- 
pelled to be economical of truth and parsimonious in 
his recital of facts, in order not to impose too great 
a strain upon the capacity of human credulity. 

Notwithstanding the mishaps of husbandry and the 
fatalities of nature, it is a moderate and conservative 
statement that no community ever increased so rai>- 
idly in population, wealth and civilization, nor 
gained so great an aggregate in so brief a time, as 
the State of Kansas. There is no other State where 
the rewards of industry have been so ample, and the 
conditions of prospeiity so abundant, so stable and 
so secure as here.

KENTUCKY 



The Blue Grass Keijlvins — line Live Stock — Support of the Union Cause 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. 

Kentu<-ky. Historic name. It is difficult to do 
justice or even partial justice to this state in so 
many wavs renowned. Here Daniel Boone e.xplored 
portions of the state in 1760, built a fort at the 
point occupied by the village of Boonsboro, m 
flaik Go., Kv., in 1775. Had numerous skirmishes 
with the Indians, but survived to remove to Upper 
Louisiana, in 1708, to a tract of land, romprising 
:.',000 acres, given to him by the Spanish author- 
ities. He settled with his family and followers at 
Gharette, on the Missouri River, beyond the in- 
habited regions of the country, and there followed 
the occupation of hunting and trapping bears till 
his death, which occurred in 182(t. He was one 
of the daring land seekers and pioneers, who was 
brave enough to contend with the difficulties which 
sometimes beset settlers in a new country. 

DISTINGLISHED MEN OF KENTUCKY, 

Kentuck.v was the home of Henry Clay for .50 
yeais, 4C years of which period he ably represented 
"his state in Congrtss, being outspoken in favor of 
the abolition of slavery. He was the author of 
tariff legislation favorable to protecting infant in- 
dustries in the United States; was the author of 
the "Missouri Compromise," favored the recogni- 
tion of the South American Republies, the inde- 
pendence of Te.xas, and many public measures of 
great importance; speaker of the House for a time; 
secretary in cabinet of John Quincy Adams; can- 
didate for Congress in 1.S24 and 1S32 and a most 
graceful and polished speaker. He was for nearly 
a half century one of the most influential members 
of the National legislature ever in Congress. 

Here at Levington was the home of Cassius M. 
Clav. from 1 .S40 to the close of his official life, as 
Minister to Russia in l.SGO. He was in the Mexican 
war, was an out and out opponent of slavery. His 
paper. The True Ainerica, was destroyed by a pro- 
slavery mob. He sulisequently revived his paper 
and circulated it in Kentucky, although printed in 
Cincinnati. His "Life, Writings and Speeches" aie 
published in two volumes. 

THE REGION OF FEUDS. 

Here was the feud region of the South, where 
misunderstanding and ill feeling arising between 
two families would go on and on, through a genera- 
tion, the fire of animosity and revenge only becom- 
ing extinguished when the last surviving member 
of one family was shot by a member of the other 
family, which happened to survive. 

Happily these feud quarrels and the manufac- 
ture of illicit whisky by moonshiners in the moun- 
tains are becoming past events in the onward 
march of the civilization of the South. We allude 



to them liere only as relics of a peculiar people 
in a past age. 

Though a slave state, every possible tffort was 
made by the Governor and the authorities of Ken- 
tucky to keep the State out of the ranks of the 
seceded states during the Civil War. This was suc- 
cessful in that no act of secessirn was passed, but 
some 40,000 men of the state went into the Con- 
federate service. The loyalty to the Union cause 
was demonstrated, however, by 01,000 troops being 
recruited for the Union side. This is also long 
past history. 

FAMOUS BLUE GRASS REGION OF KENTUCKY. 

Kentu<'k,v contains the celebrated Blue Grass re- 
gion. From this section of the U'niled States come 
the famous Kentucky high bred horses and the 
premium Shorthorn cattle. 

Of the 40,000 square miles of territory, it is 
claimed that there are not over 200 square miles 
of irreclaimable land. The southeast part of the 
state is broken by the Cumberland mountains, none 
of whose summits attain over 3,000 feet in height. 
The hills and valleys are well wooded. West and 
north of this region lies a gently undulating up- 
land, intersected by rivers flowing through deep 
valleys. The soil of this region is of the very 
finest quality, being in fact what is known as the 
Blue Grass region, extending from the Ohio River, 
southward, to the Cuml:)erland River, through the 
central portion of the state. The barrens, so called, 
lie to the westward of the blue grass country. The 
region is being brought forward farmed, and though 
naturally not so fertile as the blue grass soil, bids 
fair, under proper management, to be profitable 
land to cultivate. 

Land seekers are advised to investigate this 
region carefully. 

COAL AND HYDRAULIC LIMESTONE FOR 
CE3IENTS. 

The coal measures, which occupy the whole east- 
ern part of the state, are a part of tlie great Appa- 
lachian coal field, which overspreads western Vir- 
ginia and Pennsylvania. 

Limestones of wide extent and great thickness 
are found. Hydraulic limestone is found near the 
falls at Ijouisville and is extensively used in the 
manufacture of cement. 

The Mammoth Cave, in Edmenson Co., near 
Green River, is one of the wonders of the world, 
which people from all parts of the earth come 
great distances to see. It has been explored for a 
distance of more than 10 miles. 

Tl>at this region has been, in former times, the 
abode of mammoth animals is shown in the finding 
of the remains of the mastodon, mammoth, musk 
ox, elk, etc., in large numbers.

Kentucky Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



SALT BEDS OF KENTUCKY. 

In Clay and Meade Cos. salt is obtained in large 
quantity by boring. Iron ores are found in the 
northeast corner of the state, where numerous fur- 
naces are in operation. Other products of the state 
are saltpeter, gypsum, natural gas, asphaltum and 
petroleum. 

WILD ANiaiALS AND FORESTS OF KENTUCKY. 

Of the larger wild animals deer yet remain in 
abundance. The smaller animals, including the 
badger, raccoon, groundhog, rabbit, oppossum, etc.. 
are yet common, as are the wild turkey, partridge, 
ducks, etc. 

In tlie forests, which yet cover a large part of 
the State, particularly in the river valleys, may 
be found a numerous variety of trees, comprising 
the ash, elm, white pine, yellow pine, tulip, hick- 
ory, sweet gum, black walnut, sugar maple, white, 
red and black oaks, locust, buckej'e, Cottonwood, 
coffee tree, cypress and catalpa. 

That enterprising:, industrious tillers of the soil 
can be well rewarded for their labor throughout 
all portions of the state, is revealed by a study 
of climatic conditions. The average annual tem- 
perature is about yyo. Winter continues from the 
last of November till the first of .April, but snow- 
falls are light and seldom remain long upon the 
ground. The average annual rainfall for the state 
is 47 inches, which ensures almost invariably a 
regular and abundant crop. 

With the abundance of streams traversing the 
State in all directions along the elevations It is 
highly probable that many of the valleys could be 
irrigated, making them absolutely free from any 
possibility of loss of crops from drouth. 

FERTn.IZrNG M.4TERIAI. IN THE BLUTE GRASS 
REGION. 

The blue grass region covers something over 10, 
000 square miles. This poi'tion of the state is over- 
laid with a substratum of limestone, which is con- 
tinually undergoing decay. This serves as fertilizer. 
enriching the soil to such a degree that abundant 
crops can be grown on the same land for a centur.v 
without apparently, diminishing the fertility of the 
land. 

People in search of location for homes should 
visit the blue grass region. What is there about 
limestone that so tends to fertilize the soil? Is 
it the stone itself in bulk or must it be pulverized? 
Is the disintegration of the stone on the soil 
through the natural process of exposure to air 
necessary to secure fertilization? or can this stone 
be ground into a fine mjal, taken elsewhere and 
spread upon land with favorable result? 

T'sed anywhere this limestone is a superior fer- 
tilizer. The agriculturist of the blue grass region 
hPS the advantage of having this material right on 
the ground, and fortunate is the agriculturist who 
owns a farm in the blue grass country of Ken- 
tucky. 

A very certain crop in this state is tobacco. 
Other crops in their order are corn, oats, wheat, 
potatoes, hay and rye. Apples and peaches are 
the reliable fruits. 

The principal industries in the order of value of 
output are distilling liquors, flour and grist milling, 
lumber ma,king from logs, manufacturing chewing 
and smoking tobacco and snuff, foundry and ma- 
chine shop work, slaughtering and meat packing, 
stemming tobacco, tanning leather, malt liquors, 
wooden goods, iron and steel furniture, agricultural 
Implements, cigars, brick, tile and cotton goods.

state in 1702. 

THE M.AMMOTH C.AVE OF KENTUCKY. 

From an article by W. Stump Farwnrd. published 
in the American Cyclopedia, we gather the fol- 
lowing: 

Mammoth Cave, the largest cavern known, situ- 



ated near Green River in Kentucky, about sev.-ntv- 
five miles south by southwest of Louisville. 

Its mouth is reached by passing dovrn a wild 
rocky ravine through a dense forest. It is an ir- 
regular funnel-shaped opening, from fiftv to one 
hundred feet in diameter at the top, with stt.p 
walls about fifty feet high. 

The cave extends about nine miles, and It is 
said that to visit the portions already traversed 
requires from 1.50 to 200 miles of travel. This vast 
interior contains a succession of marvelous avenues, 
chambers, domes, abysses, grottoes. lakes, rivers, 
cataracts, etc.. which for size and wonderful appear- 
ance are unsurpassed. 

The rocks present numerous forms and shajies 
of olijects in the e.xternal world, while stalagnillcs 
and stalactites of giganti<' size and fantastic form 
abound, thou.ijh not so brilliant and beautiful as are 
found in some other caves. 

Chief among the ob.jects of interest are Silliman's 
Avenue, about one and a half miles long, from 
twenty to two hundred feet wide, and from twenty 
to forty feet high; Marion's -Vvenue, of about the 
same dimensions: the Star Chamber, about 500 I'ei-t 
long and seventy feet wide, the ceiling of which, 
seventy feet high, is composed of black gypsum 
and is studded with innumerable white points, 
which by a dim light present a most striking re- 
semblance to stars; and Cleveland's Cabinet, an 
avenue about two miles Ions, spanned by an arch 
of fifty feet, with an average central height of ten 
feet. 

By many the last is regarded as the most won- 
derful ob.lect in the cave. It is encrusted, from end 
to end, with the most beautiful formations in eve — ' 
variety of form. The base of the whole is sulphate 
of lime, in one part of dazzling whiteness and 
perfectly smooth; and in other places crystallized 
so as to glitter like diamonds in the light. 

Growing from this in endless diversified forms is 
a substance lesembling selenite, translucent and 
imperfectly laminated. Some of the crystals bear 
a striking resemblance to celery, and all are of 
about the same length: while others, a fool nr 
more in length, have the color and appearance of 
vanila cream candy; others are set in sulphate of 
lime, in the form of a rose, and othei's still roll 
out from the base in forms resembling the orna- 
ments on the capital of a Corinthian column. 

Some of the incrustations are massive and splen- 
did; others are as delicate as the lily or as fancy 
work of shell or wood. 

Sidesaddle Pit, over which rests a dome sixty feet 
high, is about ninety feet deep and twenty f et t 
across. This and some of the other pits and domes 
in the cave have been formed out of the solid rock 
by the solvent action of water charged with car- 
bonic acid. • 

The deepest of the pits are the Maelstrom, 17."> 
feet in depth, and twenty feet in diameter, and 
the Bottomless Pit, about the same depth. 

There are several bodies of water in the cave, 
the most considerable being Echo River, which is 
about three-fourths of a mile long. 200 feet wide 
at some points and from ten to thirty feet deep. 
its course being beneath an arched ceiling of 
smooth rock, about fifteen feet high. This river 
has invisible communication with Green River, the 
depth of water and the direction of the current in 
the former being regulated by the stage of water 
in the latter. 

The River Stvx. 450 feet long, fifteen to forty feet 
wide, and from" thirty to forty feet deep, is sv>anned 
by an interesting natural bridge about thirty feet 
above it. ^ . ■. ^ . 

Lake Lethe is about 450 feet long and from ten 
to forty feet wide, and varies in depth from three 
to thirty feet. It lies beneath a ceiling about 
ninety feet above its surface. Its waters some- 
times rise to a height of si.xty feet In consequence 
of freshets in Green River. 

The Dead Sea is gloomy body of water some- 
what smaller than the preceding two. Remarkable 
species of animal life are found in the cave in the 
form of an eveless fish and the eyeless crawiish. 
which are neailv white in color. Another species of 
fish has been found with eyes, but totally blind. 

Other animals known to exist in the cave are 
lizards, frogs, crickets, rats. bats. etc.. besides ordi- 
nary fish and crawfish wished in from Gr.en River. 

The atmosphere of the cave is pure and health- 
ful ■ the temperature, which averages .50 degrees 
above zero, is about the same winter and summer, 
not being affected by climate outside. 

The Mammoth Cave was discovered in l.SOO and 
has alwavs been the property of private individuals. 
For sometime after its discovery saltpetre was 

made there. „ . . ,~, „i , ,,i 

In this vicinity are also Proctor s ra^ e. a... ui 
three miles in length; White Cave Diamond «.;ive 
and Indian Cave, each about a mile long.

LOUISIANA 

An Ideal Region for the Agriculturist on a lertile Soil :>Iade from the Wash of Many States 



So nianv good things are to be said of Louisiana 
it is dilficult to do the State justice with the 
limited space at our command. 



COl NTKV LAND BELOW KIVEK LEVEL 

So far as topography of the State is concerned 
it has the single disadvantage in some portions ol 
being lov,', much of the southern part of the State 
being not moie than ten feet above sea level and 
liable to frequent inundations. The land along 
the Mississippi Itivcr, below New Orleans, and 
130 miles above, is below the surface of the river 
at high water and is protected from Inundation 
by artificial embankment, called levees. A break 
in the levee, called a crevasse, sometimes occurs, 
inundating hundreds of thousands of acres of 
valuable land. 

At present the levee lines by which the shores 
of rivers are protec-ted in Louisiana I'l-om overllow 
are about 1,4311 miles long. Of this Sti."> miles are 
situated on the Mississippi River. 3!l.") miles on the 
Red River and tributaries. 70 miles on the Atcha- 
folava and l.'iO miles on Bayou Lafourche. 



COST OF MAINTAINING THE LEVEES 

To maintain the levees, and protect all low land 
friim inundation, the State levies a general ta.\ of 
one mill on the dollar, which yields !|!315,000 a yvav. 
A special tax of SVi cents per acre and a produce 
tax is levied, in the levee district, which yields 
.$1,000,000 annually. Besides this the United States 
CoM'inmtnt has expended for several years yearly 
about $700,000 for levee protection through the Mis- 
siK.sippi River Commission. Thus it is seen that 
a thoroughly efficient system is being pursued lor 
the prote<'tion of the agricultural interests in 
Louisiana. 

While this is something of a tax on farmers of 
this i-egion, it is so light, compared with beiielUs, 
that no one complains. It should he understoo<l 
that this vast area of low land, comprising about 
one-half of the State, for thousands of years, has 
b^'cn leceiving fertilizing sediment brought down 
by the Mississippi River, from the up country. 

As the soil in the valleys of Egypt have, for 
countless centuries, been enriched by the over- 
flow of the Nile, so these Louisiana low lands 
posssess a soil ol the very richest fertility. Added 
to this an annual rainfall, in this section, of over 
(■)() inches, accounts for the fact of abundant crops 
and no crop failures. 

WHAT C.\N BE (JROWN IN LOUISIANA 

Should the fluestion be asked as to what can be 
grown here, the reply may be, ".Vsk what can- 
not be grown." 

Either on the uplands or the lowlands, nearly 
all crops, natural to the North, can be grown, 
the warm temperature, long seasons with abundant 



rainfall, per.-nitting two or three crops to be grown 
on the same land during a year. 

Included in the list of crops which can be grown 
are vegetables of all kinds, fruits in great varietN', 
pecans and oranges in South Louisiana; bananas

"LOUISIANA YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW 

'\^'^alter Parker has written an article on the 
changes taking place in the agricultural develop- 
ment of the Slate, particularly with reference to 
the reclamation of wet lands, which contains much 
important information. He says: 

Because Louisiana's climate is mild and her soil 
is immensely fertile, her sons and daughters have 
never had to work very hard to earn the necessaries 
of life. And it has only been recently, when great 
tracts of Louisiana's alluvial prairies began pass- 
ing from the hands of ancient owners into the 
hands of enterprising land developers, that the 
spirit of American enterprise, as it is understood 
throughout the Middle West, became manifest. The 
work of reclamation and development is now pro- 
gressing rapidly, and thousands of thrifty farmers 
l)ecome land owners and move into the State each 
year. 

Yesterday, Louisiana was the home of the great 
planter whose broad acres of sugar cane and cotton 
were cultivated by hired negro labor. The planter 
and his family resided in pleasure-loving New Or- 
leans. On many a place of 5.000 acres no more 
than five white men resided. The negro does not 
vote in Louisiana because of the property and edu- 
cational qualifications. Consequently, throughout the 
richest agricultural areas in the State the franchise 
was largely exercised by men whose direct in- 
tertsts were more or less plutocratic, therefore 
laru'ely contrary to the spirit of the great Middle 
West. 

Today, all this Is undergoing complete change. 
The huge stretches of alluvial prairies, which were 
built up by silt deposits from the overflowing Mis- 
sissippi river, are being drained by modern ma- 
chinery in such a way as to create navigable canals 
to the harbor at New Orleans out of each main 
diainage canal. These virgin tracts are subdivided 
into 10, 20 and 40-acre farms and sold to home- 
seekers from Indiana. Illinois and other States, and 
to Hollanders, Germans and other high type agri- 
culturists at less than half the price per "acre the 
hiir worn- out farm lands in the Middle West now 
sell for. 



THE BEGINNING OF RECLAMATION 

The work of reclamation began two years ago 
when the .State of Louisiana withdrew all taxes on 
real estate mortgage loans, reclamation bond issues 
and similar forms of investment, and the influx of 
homeseekers began immediately. Because these 
artificially drained farms are highly productive and 
relatively cheap, the demand for them has run

Louisiana Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



ahead of the ability of the drainage machines 
and in order to meet this demand, plantation es- 
tates are being cut up and sold off in small tracts. 
In this way all comers are served, and at the same 
time hundreds of voters are occupying areas on 
which hundreds of people lived but of which very 
few could vote. This means a complete change in 
the political aspect of agricultural Louisiana, and 
with that change is developing much greater agri- 
cultural influences on State and parish political 
affairs. This will mean better schools and more 
of them, better roads and expanding enterprise 
which of course means belter markets and im- 
proving values generally. 

The Louisiana of tomorrow will be a very differ- 
ent commonwealth from that of yesterday, although 
the mild climate, the sea breezes, the hospitality 
of the people, and the wonderful soil will undergo 
no change. The metamorphosis will relate strictly 
to the use the new population will make of the 
advantages Nature has provided. 

The new plows will plow deep and often — there 
is almost no limit to the productiveness of the 
soil nor is there any ice or snow to terminate 
growth and maturity — and the owners will accumu 
late bank rolls for later use. 

Rapid refrigerator trains will haul Louisiana fruit 
and vegetables into the northern markets in in 
creasing volume both before and after other sections 
can supply those markets. 



ONE MILLION ACRES NEAR NEW ORLEANS 

New Orleans, which has never had suburbs, will 
rest in the center of a 1,000,000-acre garden in- 
tensivel.v cultivated in 10-acre units. It will all 
be suburbs, closely linked with the city by inter- 
urban car lines. 

The opening of the Panama Canal will create 
many new enterprises in city and Sate, and all of 
the new workers will require food. The clothing 
bill in South I^ouisiana does not have to include 
flannels and furs. 

The other day a party of New York investors 
paid $600,000 for a canal that connects the Mis- 
sissippi River with the Mississippi Sound in order 
to obtain an all-water route from the Alabama 
coal mines to New Orleans, where they will spend 
millions in creating a great coaling station from 
which to supply the demand the Panama Canal 
will create. 

Another concern has arranged to establish a 
great packing plant at New Orleans to take care 
of the cattle that will be imported from South 
America. They expect the Panama Canal to give 
impetus to this new traffic. 

Recently Louisiana exempted all over-sea steam- 
Biiip lines domiciled in Louisiana from taxation in 
order to encourage direct steamship lines from New 
Orleans to South America, where corn and manu- 
factures are needed, and to the Far East, where 
cotton, rice and manufactures are needed. 

Even now, about $25,000 worth of fresh vegetables 
from this part of the world are shipped to Panama 
each week, and the canal is not yet ready for 

business. 



ONCE A PART OF THE GULF OF MEXICO 

Tlie soil formation of the Mississippi Valley, and 
particularly of Southern Louisiana, stands in a 
class by itself. Southern Louisiana was once a 
part of the Gulf of Mexico, and the land was 
built up from the bottom of the sea by silt de- 
posits brought down by the river. The tributaries 
of the Mississippi river drain more than twenty 
States — the twenty States that during the past 
half century have stood at the head of the agri- 
cultural list. 

The soil in all these States is constantly washing, 
aid in solution is <'arried Houtliward by the several 
rivers. These rivers rise at different times of the 
season from freshets, and from the melting ol 
snow and ice. In this way at different times each 
year during many hundreds of years thin la.vers of 
the silt from various soils in the various sections 
were deposited in the sea, and gradually built up 
what is now the sugar, rice, orange and vegetable 
district of Louisiana. The land is all soil plum 
to (he bottom of the prehistoric sea. 

Some fifty years ago the building of levees pro- 
tected these alluvial prairies from further overflows. 



and the great river is now busily engaged in exten- 
dmg Louisiana further and further to the south- 
ward in the Gulf. The drainage of these alluvial 
prairies began only three years ago when freedom 
I!!*"^^.- ^^'^'°"' '^^ invention of practical machinery 
the high cost of living, the high price of Middle 
VVest lands, and the approaching completion of the 
Panama Canal turned widespread interest on Louis- 
iana, 



LOUISIANA AN EXPORTER INSTEAD OF AN 
IMPORTER 

Since then Louisiana has become an exporter of 
corn in place of an importer, which was easy since 
the production of fifty bushels an acre without 
cultivation from sod corn is a simple matter on the 
alluvial prairies. 

Recently, at the National Corn Exhibit at Colum- 
bus, Ohio, a 17-year-old boy — Stephen Henry, of 
Melrose, La. — won first prize in competition with 
40,000 other boys. Henry exhibited the best ten 
ears, and won on 13S bushels grown by him on less 
than one acre at a total cost of ISV- cents per 
bushel. For the honor of representing Louisiana 
at the Columbus Show many boys competed with 
young Henry, and more than 100 of them produced 
over 100 bushels on a single acre. 

Because of the open winter and the bottomless 

soil, the enterprising South Louisiana farmer who 
desires to pile up profit may keep his land cnn- 
tinuously in use. During the winter, cabbages, 
onions and similar stuff are grown. Late winter 
finds the land planted in all kinds of high priced 
vegetables. Late in March the land goes into 
corn, which is harvested in July, sun dried and 
ready for export. During the fall many vegetables 
to catch the late season northern markets grow in 
profusion. Meanwhile, the busy farmer has no 
worries concerning fertilizer, nor does he fear soil 
exhaustion. 

WHY SOIL IS SO RICH 

On top of all the soil in South Louisiana there 
is a layer three to four feet thick of humus 
or decayed vegetable matter mixed in with the 
silt. The rich silt itself has no bottom. 

Of this soil combination in Louisiana, Prof. Fir- 
man G. Bear, Chief Chemist of the Ohio State 
Universit>, after having made an exhaustive an- 
alysis, said: 

"There is enough nitrogen present in the first 
eight inches to supply nitrogen for, 1,000 fifty- 
bushel crops of corn. I have never analyzed a 
soil with so high a percentage of nitrogen." 

Corn experts estimate that in 1911 Louisiana 
will export 60,000,000 bushels of corn, 100,000,000 
bushels in 1912, and probably 200,000.000 by lOl.'i. 
Five years ago Louisiana annually imported 20,- 
000,000 bushels of corn for feeding purposes. 

Great credit is due the Louisiana Meadows Co.. 
of New Orleans, the pioneers in the reclamation of 
the alluvial wet prairies of Southern Louisiana, for 
the remarkable transformation of vast areas of these 
wet lands into veritable gardens, with beautiful nav- 
igable canals — like Holland — to each farm, and the 
northern and western farmer with all his energy, 
progressiveness and courage, cultivating this wonder- 
fully fertile soil the year round, much to his profit 
and happiness.

rif'TlRESQUE RESORTS 



Rangeley I.akes, Me. — This group of six lakes, in 
the western part of the State, is connected by 
streams passing from one to the other, until an 
unbroken water route of about 60 miles is formed. 
Their names are Umbagog, Lower Richardson, 
Molechunkamunli. Mooselucmaguntic, Cupsuptic and 
Rangeley. The surrounding scenery is extremely 
picturesque and grand, and the entire resort pre- 
sents many attractions for artists, tourists, hunters 
and fishermen. Indian Rock is a favorite camping 
ground for sportsmen. Near by is Dixville Notch, 
from one point of which portions of Canada, Ver- 
mont, New Hampshire and Maine may be seen.

lands, which add to the picturesqueness of the 
scenery: Stratten's Island, about half a mile long 
and containing a few houses, but no trees: close by 
is Bluff Island, about 450 feet long, with a cluster 
of trees near the center; Wood Island, off the 
mouth of the Saco River, Is nearly half a mile 
long, covered with trees, and contains a lighthouse 
and fog-bell: Stage Island is nearly one-fourth

ment 40 feet high; Basket Island is about 4.50 
feet in diameter; Ram Island is oval-shaped and 
about 450 feet long; Eagle Island is about 450 
feet across, with foliage, but no trees.

MAINE 

A New England Region of Rapid Running Streams and the Wild in Nature 



Land seekers, who contemplate leaving cities for 
the purpose of going upon fann land, should not 
forget that inany of the most prosperous men in 
mercantile life, many distinguished in the pro- 
fessions and in all lines of work, throughout the 
United States, had the advantage of farm life 
among the rugged hills of New England. 
THE BEST OF FOODS 

Not only is this a grand region to come from, but 
it is a superior part of the world in which to rear 
children. 

In everything relating to food here is the best. 
Suppose our hoine to be in Maine. In the clear 
waters of the running brooks we will get ihe finest 
Bpreckled trout; here is the sweetest honey and 
the most delicious maple sugar. The cattle that 
feed on the tame grass and drink the fresh waters 
from the running streams, yield the best milk and 
ereani; on the dry sidehills grow the mealiest 
potatoes. The live stock of the country are pro- 
tected from storms, the hens live on tlie best care- 
fully prepared foods and hence give us eggs of 
exquisite flavor. And so throughout all the range 
of foods in New England — people there live on 
only the best. 

It is a splendid region in which to rear a boy 
on a fann by a family compelled to get a living 
from land. Compared with the over abundant yield 
of land in the prolific West, the smaller crop 
which must be carefully harvested and every straw 
saved, compels frugality, prudence and econoiny. 
The never ceasing labor and necessity in planting, 
cultivating and harvesting, compels those habits of 
industry which tend to temperance and success, 
wherever the New England boy is placed in after 
life. 

The family, especially before emigrating far away, 
should look up the farms out of which the young 
men have gone to the West. Possibly the farm 
houses are entirely deserted and tiie land turned 
over ' to stock raising, or perliaps the young men 
of the family gone, the old folks who yet remain 
will be glad to make an arrangement highly ad- 
vantageous to any new family who will take the 
farm. 

In tlie tour of inspection among New England 
farms it may be profitable to visit the State of 
Maine. Give a week— a month will be better — in 
looking up some of the old farms. On some of the 
lands that can be bought cheaply and upon which 
a delightful home may be made. 

BACK TO THE NEW ENGLAND FARM 

There exists a strong inclination with many 
people in the West to go back to the New England 
hills, at least for summer residence. The pictur- 
esque scenery, rapid running streams, beautiful 
evergreens, lakes and the wild in Nature all appeal 
to them. 

There are hundreds of these old homes where 



houses can be painted, the trees trimmed and the 
lawae so put in order as to make the property 
highly salable, and all this mostly the result of 
exercising taste in putting the place in order. 

But it old and run-down estate are not readily 
found select sequestered nooks, build cottages, tit 
the grounds up tastefully and sell the property to 
those who are hunting for just such quiet, ro- 
mantic places among the mountains and hills of 
the "Down East." 

People of wealth in the central cities who are 
seeking these rural spots do not ask for large 
houses and elaborate furniture. They want some- 
where from five to twenty acres of land, a group 
of two, three or four cottages, with an abundance 
of piazza room. They desire a running brook close 
by, trees, mountains and hills to look up to, shrub- 
bery, tangled vines, rocks and ferns. They want the 
rustic. Accustomed to the highly polished, the 
beautifully finished in architecture and landscape 
gardening, they yearn for the wild and untrained. 

Look over our list of towns, write to the Agri- 
cultural Department of the State University in 
Maine. Tell them what you want and enclose an 
addressed prepaid return envelope to yourself. Get 
into touch with real estate dealers, they know 
about old homes in that State. 

Go and see for yourself and, if opportunity offers, 
dress up old properties or make them new for 
those who need and want summer cottages and 
rural homes.

The District of Columbia is seen on the left side 
of the map of Maryland near and to the left of the 
number 12. The District is notewortli.v principally 
as being the location whereon stands the I'nited 
States Government buildings at Washington. 

Washington, D. C. The District of Columbia, the 
Federal Territory of the Nation, originally contained 
100 square miles, but part of the grounds were 
afterward surrendered to Virginia; its present size 
is 64 square miles. Washington City is 414 miles 
long by 3% miles at its greatest breadth. Its loca- 
tion is on the eastern bank of the Potomac River, 
1G% milts from its mouth, and 1S4i^2 miles from the 
sea. The transfer of the government from Philadel- 
phia to Washington was made in October, ISOO. The 



officials then numbered only a few persons. The 
great city was a mere hamlet, and most of its 
houses were small huts. But it soon began to in- 
crease in population at the rate of soO souls a year. 
August 34, 1S14, the British invaded the rapital, 
burned all the government buildings and destroyed 
a large number of the public records, inflicting a 
loss estimated at $1,000,000. During Monroe's ad- 
ministration the city took upon it a new growth, 
and many important Improvements were made. The 
reeonstruetion of the Capitol was begun in 1815, 
and finished in 1827. The total cost of the Capitol — 
new and old — was nearly $13,000,000. The Capitol 
grounds contain 43 acres.

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



MARYLAND 



An Oyster and Fish Center. Warm, Sandy Soil, Favorable for Vegetable and Fruit 

Growing. Xear Markets. 



Should the reader enquire as to what the land 
seeker could find to do for himself and family in 
the Stats of Maryland, ho may be refeired to statis- 
tics for a reply. Investigation will show that there 
is a very dense population of people here, and these 
people all have to be fed. 

In a study of climate it is found that the average 
annual temperature for the State is from 54 to 64 
degrees, .■^nd th.Tt the mercury seldom falls below 
zero. January weather average 34 above at Balti- 
more and July stands at 78. The annual rainfall 
is 43.8 inches. 

A SUPERIOR REGION FOB PEACHES. 

The soil in the eastern part of the state is a sandy 
loam, easily made highly productive by fertilization, 
and in this portion of the state peaches grow in 
great abundance. The same is true of all garden 
products. In the valleys of the central and north- 
ern parts of the state the soil is exceedingly fertile, 
producing large crops of tobacco, wheat and corn. 
Other staples are hops, (lax, maple sugar, honey, 
wine and sorghum molasses. 

From the recent annual report of the Department 
of Agriculture it is seen that in Maryland the yield 
of oats was very great, and the same of wheat and 
corn. 

GREAT .4DVAXT.\GE IN CHEAP 
TRANSPORTATION. 

And so, through all the list of agricultural pro- 
ductions, the agriculturist finds soil and climate 
ready to assist in the production of any cereal, 
vegetable or fruit adapted to the climate. To this 
is added superior facilities for getting to the mar- 
kets. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, constructed 
at a cost of $11,375,000, runs by the side of the 
Potomac rivi-r westward, from Georgetown and 
Washington, to Cumberland, in Allegany County, a 
distance of 184Vi miles. This canal, with its" 74 
locks, a width of surface of 52 to 60 feet and a 
depth of 6 feet, is in readiness to carry all the va- 
rious productions of the extreme western part of 
Maryland to the Potomac River at a very cheap 
rate, while the Potomac -and Patuxent rivers, as- 
sisted by the Chesapeake Bay, easil.v carry all the 
production of Central Maryland out to the ocean, 
whence they go to Nevi- York and its immense 
market, two hundred miles away, in a few hours. 
OYSTER, FISH-CANNING, FRUIT AND 
VEGETABLES. 

The soil, the climate and the markets are right 
here in Maryland if the land seeker wants to en- 
gage in agriculture. But possibly he prefers the 
fishing business. If so, here is the oyster industry 
on Chesapeake Bay and adjoining waters, giving 
employment to over 32,000 persons. In this enter- 
prise there are over $7,000,000 invested, the annual 
oyster yield being 10,000,000 bushels. 

If the applicant for work dislikes the water, he 
can turn to one of the 500 canning establishments, 
to one (if the 800 tobacco factories, or any one of 
the 8,000 factories in which are employed over 
94,000 workmen. 

GENERAL MANUFACTURING GOING 
FORAV.VRD. 

If the seeker for employment has a trade he has 

simply to look over the general list of industries 
going forward in Maryland. 

The Coal Area in this state is .'i.oO square miles, 
and from the mines in this territory there were 



taken out in one of the recent years, 6,312,706 tons, 
worth .|1.30 per ton at the mine. 

Vhe list of general manufacturing includes flour, 
fertilizers, cotton goods, foundry and inachine shop 
products, malt liquors, planing mill products, chew- 
ing and smoking tobacco, iron and steel, distilled 
liquors, furniture, patent medicines, brass goods, 
ships, confectionery, boots and shoes, and brick and 
tile.

ONLY TWO 3IONTHS OF WINTER. 

The State of Maryland glories in an exceptionally 
fine, healthful climate, its mildness being due chielly 
to the vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf 
Stream. The winter lasts only two months. Janu- 
ary and February. Spring is short and pleasant, 
and is followed by a long summer, with warm days 
and cool nights. The heat of the summer is mod- 
erated by the constant cool breeze from the At- 
lantic. 

FARM V^'ORK ALL YEAR ROUND. 

No fear need be felt of blighting frosts, and the 
farm work can proceed almost all the year round. 

In Maryland suitable soil, if properly cultivated, 
will produce 40 bushels of wheat to the acre. 

Under highly improved cultivation, the yield of 
corn is SO bushels per acre. 

Land properly cultivated will yield 4,000 quarts 
of strawberries to an acre. 

TOMATOES THE GREAT RELIABLE CROP. 

The tomato crop is also very profitable. The 
young plants are set out in the spring; many do 
this with a machine, but two persons can easily 
plant seven acres in a day by hand. The plants 
should be placed the same distance apart as in the 
case of corn, and cultivated in the same manner. 
The canning factories pay on an average $8.00 per 
ton for toinatoes, and an acre will produce from 6 
to IS tons, according to the quality of tlie soil. 

On a farm of from 40 to 60 acres a settler can, 
by industry and economy, live comfortably and at- 
tain to easy circumstances, if he and his family 
cultiv,ate their own land. He can dispose of his 
products with little expense, as railroad and steam- 
boat lines run in all directions, and freight rates 
are low. A farmer who lives along the water can 
have his own sailboat and take his products to mar- 
ket himself. 



ANNAPOLIS, MD. 



Our map of Maryland shows the location of one 
prominent well known city, namely, .-Vnnapolis. 

ANN.4POL1S, MD. This city was formerly noted 
as a seat of wealth, refinement and extensive trade. 

The naval academy was established in 1S4.") by 
the Hon. George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy, 
the regulations requiring that the students each 
remain four years, under strict discipline and in- 
struction in all the branches of the naval profession. 

The town was settled in 1640 by Puritan refugees 
from Virginia and was first called Providence. The 
next year a commission, appointed by Lord Balti- 



more, organized the county and named it Anne 
Arundel Town, in honor of Lady Baltimore. In 
161)4 the town was regularly laid out and called 
Annapolis after Queen Anne who gave it some 
valuable presents. At the close of the revolution 
Maryland offered to cede Annapolis to the general 
government as the federal capital. During negotia- 
tions for a permanent capital Congress assembled 
liore and at this session Washington surrendered 
his commission as commander-in-chief December 
23, 1783.

MASSACHUSETTS 

A GREAT MANUFACTURING REGION AND HIGH CLASS OF PEOPLE. 



One purpose of this volume is to give information 
to people living: in cities and others who wish to 
change their place of residence, and particularly 
to where land may be obtained to good advantage. 

In our presentation of opportunities for families 
in getting support we are absolutely impartial. We 
have not the slightest pecuniary interest in any 
region of the country we describe. We are gov- 
erned therefore by no bias in favor of any particu- 
lar locality. Our mission is simply to present the 
merits of all states, tell the extremes of climate, 
describe each locality spoken of truthfully and leave 
readers to be their own judge as to where they had 
better go. Then, before buying go and see the 
property. 

We aim to give the general geography of every 
state, the location of every county, and with this, 
location of every government land office, agricul- 
tural college, capital of the state and public institu- 
tion, where further information may be obtained by 
correspondence with superintendents of these insti- 
tutions. 

We have made a specialty in this work of giving 
the location and population of every county in the 
United States, that the land seeker, might, besides 
corresponding with the Secretary of State, write 
to County authorities and get the facts about any 
particular locality. 

We will say here, what we repeat elsewhere, to 
get a prompt "answer the enquirer should always en- 
close a prepaid envelope, with name and address on 
same. 

When leaving a city, as we said of another manu- 
facturing State, the family is not always desirous 
of leaving for the sake of going upon a farm. They 
may wish to change abode for the purpose of sur- 
rounding the children with different associations. 
They may wish to change the home to get eniplo.v- 
ment in some kind of manufacturing industry or 
other employment. Besides agricultural possibilities 
we speak generally of the industrial conditions of 
a State. 

This brings us to a consideration of the oppor- 
tunities for new settlers in the State of Massachu- 
setts. In the beginning it may be said that this is 
not an agricultural but a manufacturing state. And 
vet people wishing to get themselves beautiful 
homes amid picturesque New England scenes will 
find many chances for profitable investment in every 
county in the state. If desirous of owning many 
acres or a small tract of land, in any county, open 
correspondence with one or more real estate agents, 
get descriptions and photographs of various prop- 



erties in the market for sale, and after seeing them 
determine if any of them is what you want. 

There are numerous highly fertile valle.vs in the 
State in which market gardening can be carried 
forward with profit. A two or three weeks' visit to 
this region would reveal all that. 

But possibly the land seeker is principally intent 
upon finding, with a rural home, the opportunity for 
employment in some manufacturing industry. If 
so this is a superior region for that purpose. In 
proportion to its size Massachusetts is far ahead 
of any State in the Union in factory production, 
as shown in the fact that there are in this State 
about 400,000 wage earners employed in factories. 

THE MANY RAPID FLOWING RIVERS. 

There are various reasons for this being a great 
factory center. In the first place the maps enumer- 
ate 190 rivers in this small state. Many of these 
are branches of larger rivers, yet all of them are 
so rapid in flow as to give power. Second, with 
over 300 miles of sea coast, providing numerous 
harbors for incoming raw material and outgoing 
manufactured product to the great markets of the 
world, there is superior chance to get the raw ma- 
terial in and the manufactured product out, to the 
world. Third, accessibilit.v to the millions of people 
on the .\tlantic coast that have to buy goods; and 
fourth, long years of experience in getting factories 
established and finding avenues of trade. 

ALWAYS FIND OPPORTUNITY BY SEARCHING. 

It is reasonable to suppose that with the immense 
call for population to go West, the ranks of these 
400,000 workers in factories will be often broken, 
and there will be ample opportunity to find factory 
employment in this State at any time of the year. 

A brief enumeration of goods made in Massachu- 
setts includes the finest of carpets, silks, woolens, 
cottons, paper, shoes, matches, cutlery, agricultural 
implements, tools, silverware, bronzes, whips, drugs, 
chemicals, clocks and other goods much too numer- 
ous to mention. 

Attracted by the high culture of the people, by 
the many educational advantages, by the opportu- 
nity for" making of beautiful homes in the midst 
of charming scenery, great numbers of people, who 
have been well over the world, are going to the 
rural, picturesque uplands and pleasant valleys of 
Massachusetts to spend the last years of life.

Michigan Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



Historj-. The finding of remains of ancient mines 
and mining implements indicate the settlement and 
civilization of the State in very early times. 

Wh.v two parts of the State? Why are fifteen 
counties of Michigan, comprising an area of over 
1(!,000 pquare miles, a space twice as large as Massa- 
chusetts, situated away by themselves on the south 
side of Lake Superior? The reason is this: 

Following the ceding of the territory west of Lake 
Michigan, by the Indians to the United States, the 
territory of Michigan, in 1818, included also the terri- 
tory now occupied by the State of Wisconsin. 

In dividing the territory between Michigan and 
Ohio by the government two surveys were made. The 
first placed Toledo in the State of Michigan. The 
last survey, however, so changed the boundary lines 
as to bring Toledo into the State of Ohio. The result 
was a hotly contested dispute that came near blood- 
shed by the rival States. 

The United States Government finally proposed, in 
1836, as the territory of Michigan had applied for 
admission to the Union, to grant the request on con- 
dition that Michigan would relinquish the disputed 
territory to Ohio and take, as compensation, the 
16,000 square mile? of territory comprising the present 
15 counties lying adjoining and south of Lake Su- 
perior. The proposition, at first rejected, was finally 
accepted, and so. of the S3 counties of Michigan, l.'i 
of these counties are scattered away to the north- 
ward of Wisconsin and Lake Michigan. The final 
development of iron and copper inines on this upper 
peninsula made the relinquishment of the small tract 
of disputed land to Ohio a very fortunate exchange 
for Michigan. 

These two irregular parts of Michigan are separated 
by the Strait of JIackinaw, connecting I.,ake Michigan 
and Lake Huron. The lower and larger peninsula 
embraces the whole territory between these lakes, 
though the upper peninsula contains more tlian one- 
third of the land surface of Michigan. In proportion 
to its area, Michigan has a longer coast line than any 
other State. 

The Poroupine Range of mountains is the water- 
shed in the upper peninsula between the streams 
flowing into Lake Superior and those flowing into 
Lake Michigan. This range at its highest point is 
1,400 feet above Lake Superior — 2,000 feet above the 
sea. 

AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS ON UPPER 
PENINSULA. 

The surface on the mountain sides present consid- 
erable variety of soil. There are numerous lakes and 
marshes and" great forests where pine and soft woods 
are the prevailing growths, though fine groves of 
sugar maples are found in some places. A good deal 
of goveinment land is yet to be found in each of the 
upper peninsula counties. 

Mining and Lumbering. Though this region of 
the State is quite cold in the winter, many prosperous 
towns are found throughout this territory, the lum- 
ber interest and mining giving employment to great 
numbers of workmen. 

The yield of iron and copper places Michigan in 
the front rank of mining States. The iron mines 
here are in four districts — Marquette, Menominee, 
Gogebic and Vermilion — and the annual yield gener- 
ally gives the State first place in this industry. The 
copper region at the northwest end of the upper 
peninsula, extending for 3."i miles in length and from 
1 to miles in width, is situated mostly in the coun- 
ties of Ontonagon, Houghton and Keweenaw. The 
annual product of Michigan copper, and that rnostly 
from this immediate region, is about one-third of that 
of the whole country. 

Notwithstanding the large output of lumber and 
mineral wealth, agriculture is nevertheless the lead- 
ing industry. Indian corn will not ripen on the 
upper peninsula, but wheat, rye. oats and barley 



are grown there. Apples, pears, quinces, plums, 
cherries and all the small fruits grow there to per- 
fection. 

Dimensions. Upper peninsula, greatest length from 
east to west, 320 miles; greatest breadth, 130 miles. 
Lower peninsula, greatest length, 280 miles from 
north to south; greatest width, from east to west, 
200 miles. 

Altitude. Highest in the State, Porcupine Mount- 
ain, in Ontonagon County, 2,020 feet high. 

Climate. Average annual January temperature at 
Marquette, 16 above. At Port Huron, St. Clair county, 
it is 21. Average annual July temperature at Mar- 
quette is 65; at Port Huron, 69. Extremes, lOH above 
at Marquette, 27 below; at Port Huron, 99 above and 
25 below. Rainfall, 32.4 inches at Marquette; 31.6 at 
Port Huron. 

Possibly the landseeker contemplates the purchase 
of real estate on the lower peninsula. In this quest 
he cannot go amiss. For a region so well situated as 
the lower part of Michigan there is a stnall showing 
for density of population in a State so well located as 
Michigan. 

On the great highwa.v between the East and the 
West, with great growing cities and markets on 
either side, with a highly fertile soil, why should 
Michigan be only about one-third as densely popu- 
lated as Ohio? 

It is simply because the attention of people has 
been occupied with clearing the land of its lumber 
supply. New settlers are just beginning to pour in. 
With every natural facility for sustaining a dense 
population, it is clearly evident that this State will be 
very thickly settled and land values will greatly ad- 
vance over present prices, which are from .$6 to $12 
per acre unimproved. 

The climate in that portion of Michigan located 
between Lakes Michigan and Huron is tempered by 
the prevailing breeze from one direction or another. 
It is cooler in the summer, from the lak& breeze, and 
it is warmer in the winter. All the counties border- 
ing upon Lake Michigan are found to have a soil and 
climate especially favorable to the growing of 
peaches, strawberries, grapes and other fruits, and 
hundreds of small tracts of land known as "fruit 
farms" have been developed in the past few years. 

Besides a fertile soil and favorable climate. Michi- 
gan ranks usually first or second among States in 
the production of salt, while on the Lake Huron 
short there are lock formations which yield excel- 
lent grindstone, lime, building stone and slate. 

It should he remembered that for a generation 
Michigan has been almost purely a lumber State. It 
is comparatively recently that the raising of grain 
has began to occupy attention. 

BECO.MES A MANUFACTURING ST.ATt. 

An interesting feature about this State is the rapid 
advances made in manufacturing. Among articles 
made here are lumber in its numerous market forms, 
flour and gristmill products, machine and foundry 
materials, furniture, tobacco in its various forms, 
iron and steel, men's clothing, shipbuilding, agricul- 
tural implements, chemicals and paper. 

Important manufacturing cities are Grand Rapids 
with its superior water power, Saginaw, Battle Crt-.-k. 
\drian, .\lbion, Muskegon, famous for its toys, 
woodenware and pianos: Traverse City, Lansing and 
Detroit, the latter city being the most noted of any 
citv for making automobiles. 

Shiphuilding is carried on at Port Huron. ^N yan- 
dotte and Detroit ; silk manufacturing at Beldlng. 

Mackinae Island, now a National Park, is located 
at the northern end of the Peninsula of .Michigan, 
in the Straits of Mackinac, and Is accessible ironi al 



points bv rail or vessel. The Island Is now .t national 
park, reserved for the benefit of tourists and vi.siiors. 
and offers, during the warm seasons, a f""' /«"" 
pleasant retreat from sultry air and crowded thor- 
oughlares. It contains an area of .3.s .o .-.cres. or 
miles long bv 2 miles wide, with an .I.vation ab,u

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



MINNESOTA. 

One of the Northern Border States Rapidly Increasing in Population. 



MISTAKEN IDEA ABOUT CLIMATE. 

The impro-ssion formerly prevailed that the cli- 
mate here was too eold to grow most agricultural 
products, whereas experience has proven that the 
State, in general, has not only a highly fertile soil 
bui a healthy climate favorable for the growth of 
all the cereals and the most of the vegetables and 
fruits. 

NOT SO VERY EAR NORTH 

A study of the map shows that Minnesota is not 
so far north as people had supposed. Examination 
of a Canadian map shows Hudson Bay very con- 
spicuously, and the idea might be entertained that 
the whole region is not habitable; but comparison 
with other parts of the globe, in geographical posi- 
tion, reveals that there are other parts of the 
world, even considerably farther North, that have 
long been settled and cultivated. 

COMPARED WITH OTHER REGIONS 

Crossing at the widest part of Hudson Bay is the 
Sixtieth Parallel of latitude. Tracing this parallel 
around the earth we find that living north of this 
are the people of St. Petersburg and Stocliholm 
and the majority of the inhabitants of Sweden and 
Norway. 

POPULATION EXPANDING NORTHWARD 

The facts are, while the winters are long, the air 
is dry, the people do not feel the cold as is the case 
in warmer climates with more moisture in the 
air. The average spring temperature is 46, summer 
about 70, autumn 38; in winter about 17; giving an 
average annual of .-ibout 45. The eastern part of 
the State is subject to the heaviest rainfall, the 
annual average being from 24 to 36 inches. 

The soil, especially in the northern part of the 
State, is exceedingly fertile, and is one of the best 
wheat producing regions in North America. The 
fertility of soil in the Red River Valle.y permits 
the growth of very large crops and farmers in that 
region rapidly acquire wealth. The greatest hin- 
drance the farmers in some portions of the northern 
counties have had lias been the swampy conditions 
of the land. There are hundreds of thousands of 
acres of government land in tliat region of the 
country yet unappropriated from that reason. 

SWA^IP LANDS TO BE RECLAOIED 

For the purpose of reclaiming this land the In- 
terior Department of the government, under the 
Reclamation Act, has in contemplation the running 
of a series of ditches that will drain about 400,000 
acres of land in the vicinity of Thief River Falls. 
This will open great quantities of land to settle- 
ment and be but the beginning of improvements 
which will bring into thorough cultivation great 
quantities of land, now too wet. 

The Chippewa lands, ceded under the Nelson 
Act of 1880, cover an area of over 5,000 square 
miles — 3,200.000 acres. The first efforts at drain- 
age will be just northeast of Thief River Falls. 
A tract of land has been selected including 600 
square miles. 3S4.000 acres, which area will be ex- 
tended as fast as lands are sold and appropriated. 

A\TLL MAKE THE VERY BEST FARMS 

AVhen reclaimed by drainage these swamp lands 
■will rank with the best farms in this region. The 
soil, which is a black sandy loam, is particularly 
suited to crops which grow in this latitude. 
PLAN OF DRAIN.\GE 

The plan of drainage recommended provides for 
two main ditches, from four to six miles apart, 
each about forty miles long, with laterals at right 
angles located about seven miles apart. Minor 
drainage ditches should reach each 160-acre lot. 
Such work would accomplish the drainage of 266,- 
750 acres of government and private land and the 
improvement of 135.750 additional acres, making a 
total of 402,500 acres that would be benefited. 

WEALTHY F.ARMERS IN SOI THERN MINNESOT.\ 

The southern and central parts of Minnesota are 
settled with a class of wealthy farmers whose lands 
have become worth $50 per acre. The soil in this 
region is a rich loam from two to five feet deep and 
of great durability. Here the finest wheat in the 
world is grown and from it the best flour is made. 

Buckwheat, rye. flaxseed and potatoes are also 
raised in abundance. The hay and potato crops are 
of great value. The qualit.v of Minnesota potatoes 
has a widely extended reputation. There have been, 
in years past, standing signs in the Fulton Market. 
New York, bearing the words, "Minnesota Potatoes." 



According to William E. Curtis, In the ChicaRo 
■ *^'^'J'^i^"'^'''*'*^' ^^*' \'''"e of .Minnesota wheat crop 
i",- rl?n n<>n^^^ $88,435,000; oats, $25,000,000; corn. 

Butter, .$50,000,000, made in 803 creameries, the 
product of 1,125,000 cows. The first creamery In 
the state was established at Bath, Freeborn County, 
m 1890, followed by the state founding a dairy 
school m 1891, succeeded by the employment. In 
18JJ, ot an expert, to visit creameries of th< 
state, inspect sanitary conditions and give Instruc- 
tion to dairymen. The result is that Minnesota 
usually carries away the first prize from nearly every 
agricultural exhibition where her dairy products 
are on exhibition. A byproduct, developed out of 
;'i*^^'^'*"'^' business, is hoes, the value of which. In 
1910, was $35,000,000, lacgely fed and fattened on 
skim milk. 

WAITING FOB TIMBER TO BE CUT. 

The agricultural interests of a large part of 
Minnesota have had to wail for the timber to be 
cleared away, lumbering on the lands adjoining the 
largest rivers of the State being the principal work 
ot many thousands of men during the past twenty 
years. 

The cultivated farms have demonstrated that the 
hardier fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, 
plums, grapes of the northern varieties, strawber- 
ries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, etc.. yield 
abundantly. For peaches and the more tender 
ki/ids of grapes the seasons are too short. Of the 
wild fruits, the crab apple and plum are excellent 
and the native cranberry is a source of great profit. 
Of the native forage plants botanists claim 160 
species. 

To get a fairl.v comprehensive idea of the great- 
ness of the State and its probable future the land- 
seeker should spend a week in Minneapolis and St. 
Paul in a study of land values, manufacturing, and 
as wholesale points, for distribution of products over 
the_ Northwest. Following the visit to the Twin 
Cities the tourist should see Duluth, a young but 
rapidly growing city, at the head of the lakes. 

After going up to the iron mining districts north- 
ward from Duluth. contemplating the manufactur- 
ing possibilities, healthfulness of climate and the 
many inducements for living in the State, consider 
statistics for a little time. Is there any reason why 
this population should not be as dense here as in 
Rhode Island some time? Mind, we say some time. 
That is indefinite and perhaps a good ways off. but 
when that time comes there will be many millions 
of people in this State. Saying nothing more about 
Rhode Island, let us consider Illinois. I* there an.v 
reason why Minnesota should not be as densely 
populated as the Prairie State? It is hi^'hly prob- 
able that it will be. What then? Min.iesota had 
22.1 persons to the square mile in the 1900 census 
and Illinois had 86.1. When Minnesota attains to 
the present density of Illinois' population, she will 
have four times more people in her borders than 
now. Will each of the 400 interior Minnesota vil- 
lages and cities be four times larger than now? 
Will Minneapolis and .St. Paul be four times larger? 
AVill th.-re be 300.000 people crowded onto the 
mountain side it Duluth and overflowing clear out 
to Lester Park and West Duluth? Yes. certainly. 
M'hy not? Duluth is at the head of the lakes. 
Chicago was at the head of Lake Michigan. People 
had to stop there, and goods on freight boats had 
to break bulk. Duluth is similar to Chicago In po- 
sition. They have to break bulk there and all 
cities, where they have to break bulk, become large 
cities. 
FITURE LARGE POPULATION IN MINNESOTA. 

Certainl.v all ^Minnesota cities that are fairlv pros- 
perous will be four times larger than now, and 
landseekers looking the State all over will find 
Minnesota a ver.v safe State in which to settle and 
invest in real estate.

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



MISSISSIPPI 



Having a Soil and Climate Especially lavorable foi Growing Cotton. — Figures Showing Profits. 



ShouUl the land-seekei wish to engage in the 
production of one general crop there is probably 
none more sure than cotton in a region favorable lor 
its growth. There are a few essentials necessary^ in 
the production of cotton, among them being a ri«-h 
alluvial soil, a temperature favorable for growth 
and rainfall sufficient to supply the necessary 
moisture. 

THE CLIMATE OF MISSISSIPPI. 

The average annual temperature in Mississippi 
is 65 57. The highest of summer is 90 and the low- 
est of winter is 18 above zero. The average an- 
nual rainfall at Natchez is 53.55 inches; along the 
coast, it is 64 inches. 

The valley areas of the northern section, and the 

vplands of' central Mississippi, are fertile, while 
those of other parts of the state are often inferior 
in quality. If the individual is going into the busi- 
ness of raising cotton and has selected Mississippi 
as the state in which to engage in that vocation, 
he will find that soil, climate and rainfall all com- 
bine here to make that crop a success; but it would 
be only safe for the person intending to purchase 
land for that purpose to visit this state, go among 
the cotton raisers and carefully investigate before 
investing any money in land for that purpose. 

As a rule, cotton continues very uniform in 
price. While price fluctuates somewhat, it has 
averaged about 10 cents a pound during the past 
seven years. During T,)0t5 the price varied from 
J)% cents to 12^4 cents per pound. 

A STATEMENT OF COST AND PROFITS. 

Cost of Production.. The following statement of 
the cost of production and the proceeds from a cot- 
ton crop in ISS'.l-HO on a 70-acre larm of Col. J. M. 
Thornton, Talladega, Ala., is worthy of careful 
study of those who think of engaging in the busi- 
ness' of cotton culture. Of course these figui es 
would varv considerably, depending upon natural 
fertility of soil, cost of fertilizing material, ex- 
pense "of labor, accessibility to market, and other 
conditions, but this table gives something of an 
idea of cost of production in average years.

Dividing the $972.64 by 70 gives $13.89. the profit 
per acre on raising cotton at these prices. Thus the 
profit on a lOO-acre tract would be .$1,389. and a 
200-acre cotton farm would be $2,778. 

CENTER OF COTTON PRODICTION IN RECENT 
YE.^RS. 

The center of cotton production in the United 
States nas been recently in Mississippi, about 20 



miles northeast of Canton, in Madison County, and 
with the natural lerlility of soil here, tilling it 
for cotton raising, it is probable that cotton can be 
raised in this slate with greater protit than else- 
where, which will he determined by the land-seeker 
when he investigates cotton raising conditions in 
Mississippi. 

Cotton is a field crop and, like wheat, oats or 
corn, must be classed with those field productions 
which require a good deal of space in order to yield 
large farm profit. There are certain valle.vs in 
the state, like the Yazoo, which is overtlowed in 
very high water, and enriched l)y the alluvial de- 
posits, that require but very little fertilization in 
the production of an.v crops thereon. These valleys 
are natural cotton lands, which land-seekers should 
examine. 



IF COTTON WERE MADE THE PRINCIPAL 
CROP. 

The crops of Mississippi are considerably diversi- 
fied. Thus in one average recent year the oat crop 
was 1,671.919 bushels; wheat, 28.285 bushels, and 
corn, 30,027,569 bushels. 

Of the cotton crop there were 1,275,000 bales. As 
there are 466 pounds in a bale of cotton, there 
were 594,15(1,000 pounds in that crop, which, multi- 
plied by 9'i cents, the lowest price per pound for 
cotion that year, would inake the income to the 
State of Mississippi $54,958,875 that year for her 
cotton crop. 

As there is but a comparatively small population 
at present in this state, 12,000.000 acres yet cov- 
ered with forests, we can imagine when the popu- 
lation is full up to the capacity of the state and 
the force of help is sufficient to cultivate all the 
soil, thai the revenue from cotton in this state will 
be immense. 

Bjit while Mississippi is essentially an agricul- 
tural state it is giving a good deal of attention 
to manufacturing, as shown in the fact that in 
1906, an average year, there were $50,256,309 in- 
vested in manufactures, 38.690 wage earners were 
employed, to whom was paid $14,819,034, the man- 
ufactured product of the state being worth $57,- 
451,445. 

FRUIT, FISH AND OYSTERS. 

The Gulf Coast of the State which extends for 
a distance of 90 miles on the borders of the Gulf 
of Mexico is altricting a great deal of attention 
for several reasons. First, here is a warm sandy 
loam soil, resting on a clay subsoil, in which all 
vegetables anti fruits yield abundantl.v. Second, 
with warm climate and 62 inches of annua! 
rainfall they can grow three crops a year on the 
same land. Thus, planting Irish potatoes in Jan- 
uary, the crop is off in time to plant corn in 
April and the corn is off in time to plant sweet 
potatoes in July, which are harvested in time to 
allow a crop of hay or cow peas to be grown, to 
plow in and fertilize the land for the next year. 

The waters of the Gulf, along the Mississippi coast 
line, grow thousands of bushels of oysters. One 
cannerv at Biloxi gives employment to 2.500 work- 
men nine months in the year canning oysters and 
other shell fish. 

The fish canning and oyster industry on the 
Gulf coast is very great and steadily growing in 
importance. 

DELIGHTFl'L BREEZE FROM THE GULF. 

A steady breeze blows in upon the land here 
making tlie days pleasant and the nights cool in 
summer. Thus th'> Gulf coast is growing in popu- 
larity as a summer resort. As a home for the win- 
ter months it is and has for many years attracted 
thousands of people from the north. Gulfport. Bay 
St I.ouis. Pass Christian, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and 
other points are widely known as health and pleas- 
ure resorts.

A Region of Delightful Winter Kesorts on tlie Gulf Coast. 



Thousands of people are driftins down to this 
charming Gulf coast to make iheir homes in the de- 
lightful climate here, intending to spend their re- 
maining jearw in the growing of fruit for profit and 
partly as a pastime. 

Many testini<inialN are published of people who 
clear a prolit on iheii crops here of $250 per acre, 

their productions including early grown potatoes, 
sweet corn, strawberries, grapes, Satsuma oranges, 
soft shell pecans, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, mel- 
ons, peaches and other fruits. 

THE LIMBER BUSINESS A GREAT INDUSTRY. 

This whole region adjoining the Gulf of Mexico 
has been, until recently, covered with a long leafed 
pine forest. The rapid advance in the price of 
lumber has caused the introduction of scores of 
sawmills. The land is being cleared of the for<st, 
and the soil, a rich dark, sandy loam, resting on a 
clay subsoil, is found to be most admirably adapted 
to fruit raising. 

Added to a warm isoil in a warm climate, is 
an average of five inches of rain per month. This 
large amount of inoisture prevents shortage of crops 
from drouth. While one crop of the season may be 
lessened by dry weather the other crops are not 
affected, and the average yield from the land is 
always about the eame. 

PRICE OF LAND IN SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. 

Farm land along the Gulf coast is held at prices 
varying Irom .$2."> to .$50 per acre, while baek a lit- 
tle distance from the Coast the price ranges from 
$15 to .$25. 

TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT, GO SOUTH. 

There is an intense cry continually going up from 
all the Gulf coast country for more lielp. More 
workmen are wanted in the fields, mole in the 
lumber district and more in the canneries. The 
land seeker will do well to consider the advisability 
of getting a small farm on the Gulf Coast, applying 
thereon intensive cultivation, and while getting 
started assist other people who need help.

Between New Orleans and Mobile will be found a 
number of the most attractive winter resorts in the 
whole South. From Bay St. Louis, the first resort 
out of New Orleans, to Pascagoula, nearly fifty miles 
east, is an almost continuous string of white <■«!- 
tages, hotels and bungalows. The winter climate 
is delightfully invigorating and it would be diffi- 
cult to select a locality better suited for rest or 
recreation. The population of Bay St. Louis is 
about 4,500, made up largely of people from New- 
Orleans, who make daily trips to and from the city. 
The town, like other gulf coast resorts, has its 
long shell drive upon the waterfront, with magnifi- 
cent live oaks and magnolias, while the pretty, sub- 
stantial and gardened residences bespeak taste and 
prosperity for their owners. Boating, bathing and 
fishing facilities are unsurpassed. 

PASS CHRISTIAN. 

Pass Christian is the most pretentious, as well 
as the most popular, resort along the gulf coast. It 
is one of the very old towns of the United States 
and the second in population on the coast. With 
its seven miles of frontage on the gulf, and with 
immense pine forests behind It, It is an ideal place

excellent condition. Mississippi .Soun.i furnishes the 
finest yachting course in the .South and very good 
fishing can be had during the late winter and 
early spring months. 

GULFPORT. 

Gulfport is a ne^v, but distinctly modern, town. 
It is the principal seaport for sea-going visb'Is 
of the State of Mississippi and is the second 
lumber-shipping port in the country. It has a line 
harbor, deep and roomy enough to accommoilate 
ocean shipping for years to come. Besid.- boating, 
fishing and hunting there are beautiful shell drives 
along the beach and automobiles can be hired at 
reasonable rates. There are tennis courts ami an 
excellent golf course. The hotel accommodations are 
among the best on the coast. 

Four miles east of Gulfport Is the old town of 
Mississippi City. It is in the midst of a great fruit- 
producing region, where oranges, tigs, peaches, pears 
and grapes can be grown with Ijut little effort 

Biloxi. the oldest town on the coast, the third in 
age in the United States, was founded by the Fr(n<h 
in 16!)9. It is the largest town between New Orleans 
and Mobile and is a substantial and progressive 
little city. There are some fine residences and 
hotels and shell drives along the ten-mile beach. 
The waters of the sound here are alive with fish and 
during the winter season quantities of oysters are 
canned and shipped to Northern and Eastern mar- 
kets. Four miles west of Biloxi is Beauvoir, wliere 
JetTerson Davis lived, and now the home of aged and 
infirm Confederate veterans. Biloxi is a most de- 
lightful little city and an excellent place wherein 
to spend the winter season. 

OCEAN SPRINGS. 

Ocean Springs, so called from th.- mineral springs 
found in the town, is just across tlie tia\ from 
Bilo.xi. A fine shell drive extends the entire three 
miles of sound frontage. Nowhere on the coast can 
finer specimens of the famed live oaks be found. 
Under these, and with full sweep of sea view and 
salt breezes, nestle some attractive and tasteful 
homes and hotels. 

Sixteen miles east of Ocean Springs are the towns 
of West Pascagoula and Pascagoula. This is one of 
the greatest lumber manufacturing dislrlets of the 
South and in addition, one of the best fishing points 
on the coast. 

THE NATION.VL CEMETERY IN MISSISSIPPL 

The National Cemetery at Vicksburg. fronting the 
river and blending in to the northern end of the 
Military Park, although not of it. was established 
in lS(j.">. Its originally beautiful natural site having 
thus had the benefit of time in which to be de- 
veloped and appropriately softened and beautified 
into harmony with its sacred purpose. It stands 
today one of the most park-like and pleasingly 
impressive of all the national cemeteries. With the 
possible exception of Arlington Heights, none can 
compare with it in general beauty. It certainly Is 
one of the most magnificent cemeteries ever devoted 
to the interment of the dead soldiers of any na- 
tion, and it is also (except Arlington! the larg.-st 
of the eighty-two established and maintained by 
the General Government in honor of Its valorous 
defenders. It contains the graves of 1H,S22 Union 
soldiers who lost their lives in and around Vicks- 
burg during the civil war. of which the appalling 
number of 12.71!) are "unknown." The c.metery 
is a masterpiece of landscape engineering, with

MISSOURI 

Took Greatest Number of Prizes for .Agritultural I'rodiK-tion at the SI. Louis Kxposilion in 1904. 



A large amount of Missouri unimproved land is 
yet in the market at .$2. $4 and $8 per acre. From 
our map and list of Missouri towns the reader can 
judge as to accessibility to markets and pretty 
nearly what land ought to be worth if good soil. 

WON A GRE.\T NUMBER OF PRIZES. 

That this is a superior State for the agriculturist 
is shown in the fact that at the World's Louisiana 
Purchase Exposition, in St. Louis, in 1904. Missouri 
was awarded, by international juries, a greater 
number of prizes for agriculture, horticulture, live 
stock and poultry products, than any other state in 
the nation. In agriculture were received 298 prizes, 
in horticulture, 372; in dairying:, 3; in live stock, 
790; in poultry, 617. 

From Henry County in 1904, of surplus products, 
there were shipped 54 different agricultural, horti- 
cultural, live stock, lumbering, poultry and other 
products, at an estimated value of $4,193,987. 

And that was only one average County. The 
State, which is over seven times larger than Mas- 
sachusetts, has 115 Counties. 

MISSOURI CLIMATE. 

In examination of our maps the favorable loca- 
tion of this State is seen. Not only is it in nearly 
the exact center of the United States, but the cli- 
mate is especially favorable for the growth of every 
agricultural product which can be grown in this 
latitude. 

The average annual temperature is 55 degrees. 
The winter is 33 degrees, and suminer is 76 degrees. 
While in winter the therinometer sometimes gets 
below zero, and in the summer up among the 
highest figures, these extremes are of short dura- 
tion, not lasting long enough to occasion any in- 
convenience or discomfort in any direction. 

The winter as a whole is moderate and mild, 
with very little snow and no storm-locked periods, 
when it is with difficulty that the farmer can keep 
up communication with dwelling and stables, and 
much less with the outside world. On the con- 
trary, cattle require very little stabling and only a 
moderate amount of feeding, in comparison with the 
amount of care necessary on a Northern farm. The 
summers are no hotter than in the more northern 
States. The heated periods are of longer duration, 
perhaps, but are a source of very little inconven- 
ience, and no loss to the farmer, like the long win- 
ters at the North. 

DISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALL. 

Another element of a desirable climate for agri- 
cultural purposes to be taken into consideration is 
the amount of rainfall and its distribution through- 
out the different seasons. The average rainfall for 
the .State is 41 inches. It is least in winter and 
highest in summer. This avoids the drouths at the 
growing periods of crops. 

Though this large amount of rainfall would seem 
to make an overabundance of moisture, the cli- 
mate is a dry one, the heavy rains falling in a 
short space of time, leaving the sunshine almost 
continuously free to distribute heat. The universal 
reign of sunshine is one of the marked features of 
the Missouri climate which greatly affects the well- 
being of its inhabitants. 

In facilities for carrying goods from the Mis- 
souri farms to markets this State is exceptionally 
favored. In addition to over 8.000 miles of rail- 
ways are several navigable rivers, among them be- 
ing the two great streams, the Mississippi, which 
borders the State for 470 miles, and the Missouri, 
which forms a part of the western boundary for 
nearly 200 miles, from the Iowa line to Kansas 
City, at which point it turns eastward, (lowing 
across the State in a tortuous course for more than 
250 miles to the Mississippi. These great streams 
are navigable at all times, except when obstructed 
by ice. The Osage, one of the affluents of the Mis- 



souri, is navigable for small boats half the year. 
Several others are navigable for small boats in the 
early summer. 

See these streams either land their cargoes at 
Kansas City or St. Louis, two of the grandest cen- 
tral distributing points in the United Stales. 

St. Louis of itself has a vast commerce. Over 
900 steamboats leave here annuallv for the Lower 
Mississippi, 800 for the Upper Mississippi, 200 for 
the Missouri, and 200 for th<! eastern branches of 
the Mississippi. 

GREAT DISTRIBUTING POINT. 

By virtue of central location, making it the natu- 
ral distributing point for the great Southwest, St. 
I>ouis is one of the few greatest markets in the 
world. While out of the Central Cotton belt it 
ships annually over 600.000 bales of this staple, ami 
handles yearly over $2,000,000 worth of furs. We 
mention these two articles because if it does so 
large a business in cotton and furs it is easy to see 
that its traffic in agricultural productions, native to 
this state and the immediate region, must be 
immense. 

A FEW MISSOURI STATISTICS. 

It should be remembered that Missouri is a young 
State; not a half of its resources are yet developed. 

We could dilate upon various other resources and 
easily make a large volume relating to this State, 
but space does not permit. We advise the land- 
seekers to carefully investigate the claims of Mis- 
souri. Its coal beds, which extend under one-half 
of the State, its iron, lead and zinc mines; wool, 
live stock, dairy, lumber and other interests. 

1854. "St. Louis was a squalid border town." 

We quote the above from Ingalls liecausi' of his- 
torical mention. "St. Louis, a squalitf town" at 
that period. No sleeping cars and no dming cars 
in those days; the ".American Desert" was a fact at 
that time and the railroad ended at Jefferson City. 

What wonderful changes have taken place since 
Ingalls made his journey into the West, and how 
short the time! Men in middle years recollect that 
period distinctly. Will this State go forward as 
rapidly in the future as in the past? Why not? 
When Ingalls crossed Missouri at that time there 
were only 6S0.000 people in the State; less than the 
population today of St. Louis. 

PROBABLE FlTl RE OF SUSSOURL 

It is no great stretch of imagmation to suppose 
that Missouri will have a population, not far away 
in the future, as dense as Ohio, which will give her 
a vastly increased population over the present. 

With a doubling of population there will be a 
great increase in land values throughout the State. 
The average price of improved land today is |25 
per acre; unimproved Is $10. Much Improved Is 
higher in price, while much is only $10, $15 and $20 
per acre.

MONTANA 

A Great State, Great in Cattle Raising, Great in Mining and Great in Opportunities for Irrigation. 



This is a great State. Great in size. Great in 
mountains and wild scenery. Great in its sheep and 
cattle "on a thousand hills." Great in its inex- 
haustible mineral resources, great in its output of 
gold, silver and copper; great in its niilions of acres 
of government land yet unappropriated. Great in 
stupendous mining operations and great in its pos- 
sibilities for land seekers who will settle in the 
irrigated valleys and raise ripe, fresh agricultural 
and horticultural food products to feed the miners 
who get good pay and are willing to pay a liberal 
price for good tilings to eat. 



E.\RLY EXPLORERS 

In a searcli for furs a Frenchman and his sons 
wandered through these mountain fastnesses, as 
early as 1742. Lewis and C'larlie, in 1S05, marveled 
at the great water falls, climbed over the Rocky 
Mountains and went westward to the Pacific Coast. 
Following came a trading post on the Yellowstone 
River in 1800, and a fur station up in the valley 
country in 1.S27. erected Fort I'nion at the junction 
of the Milk River witli the Missouri River. 

Five years went by when the denizens at the fort 
were surprised one clay, in 1S32, by the arrival of a 
small steamer called the Yellowstone. Fort Buford 
was constructed at the junction of the Yellowstone 
River with the Missouri and the steamer Assinni- 
boine got up to that point in 1S35. 

In 1S46, close up to Great Falls, Fort Benton was 
built in Clioteau county and the steamer Chippewa 
readied that point on the Missouri River in 18G0, 
and established that as the liead of navigation. 
For 23 years the Missouri River was the great 
thoroughfare for getting into the interior of Mon- 
tana and not until the Northern Pacific Railroad 
reached Helena, in 1883, did the Missouri River 
traffic die out. 



TWO GRE.\T DIVISIONS. 

There are two great divisions of the State in top- 
ography. The western, one-third of the State, is 
mountainous; the eastern, two-thirds, a vast un- 
dulating, rolling expanse of prairie, gradually rising 
from the east to the Rocky Mountains, broken only 
by river valleys and occasional groups of moun- 
tains. 

The prairie eounties are Valley, Dawson, Custer, 
Rosebud, Yellowstone, Carbon, .Sweet Grass, Fergus 
and Choteau, and a larger part of the Teton and 
Cascade counties. The other counties are mountain- 
ous, include the mineral regions and fertile agricul- 
tural valleys aided by irrigation and the continuous 
sunshine. 



A COLD AND DRY CLrM.\TE 

The climate of the State is dry and bracing, the 
winters are at times very cold, but as thorough 
preparation is made for cold weather and the sun 
IS nearly always sliining in the daytime, the wint.rs 
are pleasant seasons. Formerly stockmen lost 
heavily of their sheep and cattle from the cold, but 
having learned the peculiarities of winters, and the 
necessity of having feed and shelter in severe 
weather, the loss by snowstorms and sudden cold 
no longer continues as formerly. 



LENGTH OF Ol TDOOR SEASONS. 

Tlie length of the warmest outdoor season may 
be judged by the opening of the tourist sea.son in 
Yellowstone Park, June 1, and ending September 1, 
but one month may be added to that in the spring 
and two delightful months in the fall, while many 
people claim that with the continually clear air 
and wealth of sunshine all seasons, especially in the 
valleys and on the low lands, are delightful. 



WHERE TO INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS. 

The land seeker coming into Montana to procure 
acres and cultivate tlie soil, after going to the cen- 
trally located land olliccs, easily found from our 
table of county seats, and list of go\ernment land 
offices, which we publish elsewhere, will lind It ad- 
vantageous to consult mine owners as to where 
they get food supplies and the cost. Grocerj-men 
are also well informed, hotel keepers know where 
they get the best of vegetables and fruits, market 
gardeners know what can be produced in this cli- 
mate to best advantage, men in cliarge of Irrigation 
works know where other well located fruit and 
vegetable land is located, and real estate dealers 
are conversant with prices. They are also well In- 
formed about lands and probably are best authority 
that can be consulted as to agricultural possibilities 
in the region. 

The buyer of land should go slow enough and 
deliberate enough to get well situated on a small 
tract of ground near a nourishing mining town. 
We say small because that will mean less expense, 
better cultivation and greater profit. We are allud- 
ing now to the market gardener and the horticul- 
turist. If the Investor desires to engage In stock 
raising that Is another matter. The government 
land offices and stock dealers can give required In- 
formation to the land seeker.

Montana Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



The following brief outline of counties may aid a 
little in selection, but it is wisdom to only buy 
real estate after seeing the land and carefully in- 
vestigating all the conditions, relating to title, cost 
of cultivation, distance to markets, market prices, 
etc. 

LARGELY DEPENDING ON IRRIGATION. 

This is a dry climate, where agriculture is largely 
depending, in fruit and vegetable culture, on irriga- 
tion, and among the first propositions will be in- 
vestigation relating to water supply, though it 
may be understood that 40 per cent of the tilled 
lands of the state are now producing without the 
aid of irrigation. By the provisions of the new 
irrigation bill the United States government will 
irrigate the land and give the settler ten years to 
pay the cost. Thus if it costs $20 an acre, the 
farmer will pay .$2 a year for 10 years and the cost 
is paid. If to put in the irrigation works costs $10 
an acre, one dollar a year, without interest, will 
remunerate the government, and the debt be paid 
in 10 years. 

Several irrigation enterprises are going forward 
in Montana and various plans are pursued in pay- 
ing for first putting the woiks in. Some irrigation 
< ompanies obtain a large tract of land, build canals 
leading water to these lands, and sell, with irriga- 
tion, for a small weekly or monthly payment. Since 
the new irrigation law has come into force, which 
gives the settler a chance to make a small annual 
payment, without interest, thousands of farmers 
are buying irrigated land, preferring to pay for 
absolute assurance that they can raise crops, inde- 
pendent of rainfall. The whole situation relating 
to irrigation is soon learned when the land seeker 
arrives in the region where he proposes to settle. 
See our description of Government Irrigation else- 
where. 

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR IRRIGATING. 

Because of the uneven surface of the entire state 
and so many streams coming from the highlands, it 
is believed to be a conservative statement that one- 
fourth of all the land in the state is susceptible to 
irrigation. This applies particularly to the agri- 
cultural land in the mountainous regions of the 
western parts of the state where water from the 
mountain sides can be easily conveyed to the lands 
in the valleys. 

This also applies to a large portion of the east- 
ern counties. Thus Valley county, now principally 
devoted to stock raising, can have 300 square miles 
successfully irrigated. Our table of government 
lands shows a good deal of government land yet 
left in this county. 

In favor of irrigation it may be said that aver- 
age lands worth $2.50 per acre can have a value 
of $.">0 and $100 per acre placed on them after they 
receive water. 

Choteau Count.y has seventy rich valleys with 
some irrigated land where the farmers are highly 
prosperous. The most of the land is yet unoccupied 
and new settlers will be welcomed here. It costs 
about $3 an acre to put water on this land, which 
can be paid for with the first crop. 

In Teton County an irrigation company has re- 
claimed some 40,000 acres, have sold a good deal 
of their land, but a large amount yet remains un- 
sold. The price of land, with water, is $15 per 
acre up. 

WAITING FOR NEW SETTLERS. 

Flathead Count.y, in the beautiful Flathead val- 
ley, thirty-five by eighteen iniles in area, with tens 
of thousands of acres of forest lands on the higher 



elevations adjoining, waiting for the incoming home- 
steaders. The Chinook winds, from the Pacific, flow 
in here and the winter clinjate is mild, so mild the 
thermometer very seldom reaches down to zero. 

Dawson County is adapted to, and is at present 
utilized for stock raising. It has rich valleys which 
could easily be irrigated. 

Fergus County has varied resources: timber cov- 
ered mountains and valley lands with different 
soils, mining lands and coal beds. 

Cascade County has numerous resources, among 
them great water power, coal, iron and a rich soil 
for growing agricultural products. 

Lewis and Clarke County is one of the most pro- 
lific producers of precious metals of any county in 
the state, has a large area of farming land easily 
irrigated and persons interested in searching for 
gold should investigate the mineral opportunities 
of this county. 

VALUES ADDED BY IRRIGATION.

MEN GET HOMES — WOMEN GET H 

Chinook, Mont. 

Max Bass, Dear Sir: — In my sixteen years' ex- 
perience in the Milk river valley I have never felt 
more optimistic over the prospects for the valley 
than at the present time. 

The government, under the beneficent "Irrigation 
Act." is already at work on the St. Mary's Milk 
River Project that will reclaim at least a quarter of 
miUion acres more of our rich, but arid, valley 
lands. 

Our extensive public ranges bearing the world- 
renowned bunch and blue joint grass, and our short 
tnild winters will make this one of the greatest 
stock producing centers of the west. 

Our present need is for more help on our ranches. 
Farm hands have been getting $40 per month for 
nine months of the year for the past four years. 
Girls for housework get from $18 to $25 per month, 



USBANDS AT CHINOOK, MONTAN.4. 

and have many advantages not accorded to the 
domestics employed in the older settled sections of 
the United States. Men who come here to work 
soon get themselves a piece of land and the girls 
soon get a man, thus instead of increasing the sup- 
ply, they increase the demand for more laborers. 
Work can almost always be secured here in the 
winter, though, of course, at somewhat lower wages. 
The shortage of labor has depreciated the price 
of land ai'd it is said by competent authority that 
land is cheaper here in proportion to its produc- 
tivitj', than almost anywhere in the United States. 
Irrigated lands can be purchased here now for $25 
per acre that can be made to yield a handsome in- 
terest on three times that price. There are also un- 
doubtedly many acres of vacant public land, open to 
homestead and desert entry, that will some day be 
irrigated. Yours respectfully, 

W. B. Sands.

Montana — General Information About Irrigation 



METHODS or IRKIGATION. 



The Twentieth Century Farmer Gives Herewith 

Directions and Important Suggestions On 

How to Irrigate Properly. 

Since the practice of irrigation is conaing into 
general use over a continually increasing area, a 
discussion of the inethods of conducting and the 
advantages that come from such a system may 
not be entirely inappropriate. 

WHERE TO GET WATER. 

When farming under irrigation, in addition to 
buying a farm, water must also be procured. This 
may come frona two sources. Either from the 
natural mountain streams or by the melting snows 
that have accumulated on the mountain sides and 
in the canyons during the winter months, or from 
storage reservoirs in the foothills where the water 
from snows and rains may be retained until lib- 
erated for irrigation. 

BUYING LAXD WITH WATER RIGHT. 

When valley land is first taken up the farmers 
file a claim for so many miners' inches, as that is 
the basis for measuring irrigation water, in the 
nearest mountain streain, with the state government, 
and these "prior rights" are recognized. After 
all the water has been taken in this way the 
usual method is to buy a < ertain portion from an 
early settler or by building large storage dams 
across the canyons increase the amount of water 
available during the irrigation season. Most of the 
Montana valley lands at present are covered by a 
water right, and these have been adjusted for some 
time, so that when a farm is purchased the water 
right is included. 

WATER COMMISSIONER'S DUTY. 

As the water rights frequently include land sev- 
eral miles from the main stream, canals are built 
through the farms that are watered from the 
stream. Headgates are provided and the amount 
of water to which each farm is entitled may be 
taken out. The adjusting of these is usually done 
by a "water commissioner," a man named by the 
local judge to apportion the water out as it has 
been filed upon. 

LAND JIUST BE MADE LEVEL. 

The first essential to the proper irrigation of a 
field is that it must be as near level as possible. 
This is usually brought about by going over the 
field just before seeding the crop with a large lev- 
eler. This is usually made by firmly bracing sev- 
eral 2x6 12-foot boards, usually four, about three 
feet apart, and going over the field, over each 
way, with this implement. This removes the small 
irregularities, filling the low places and smooth- 
ing oft tiie higher places. 

MAIN DITCHES, L.^TERALS AND DAJttS. 

When the crop is up several inches the main and 
lateral ditches have to be made. The main ditch 
comes from the canal and runs across the farm 
on tlie highest ground. The laterals radiate from 
the main, starting out every 60 to 100 feet, accord- 
ing to the contour of the field. They are run to 
grade, giving them a fall of about one-tenth of a 
foot in the 100 feet. If greater fall than this is 
allowed there is danger of great annoyance from 



the washmg and cuttmg of ditches. These are 
usually about four inches deep and are run with a 
double mold board plow. Jf the lateral ditches 
are plowed before the grain is up great annoyam.- 
comes from the grain growing up through the 
sides. As soon as the side ditches arc plowed dams 
e.very tvventy feet are constructed. This is usually 
done by means of a dammer, which consists of a 
flat board face fastened to the frame of an ordi- 
nary plow This iS drawn along the bottom of ih- 
ditch and when sutfii-ient earth Is lolleeted in 
front It 18 simply raised and the small dam rc- 
mains. These settle and by irrigating time are 
effective dams. 

WHEN TO IRRIGATE. 

It is unwise to irrigate before the crop Is up 

so as to fully shade the ground. If done bir<,r<- 
this time, the baking of the soil which comes a.s 
a result of the rays of hot sun makes undesiralile 
crop conditions. A crop of grain such as oats or 
wheat sown April 15, will be tit to irrigate July 1. 
AFTER W.4TER IS TURNED ON. 

W^hen the water is turned in the main ditches 
it is allowed lo run past about four laterals and 
then is dammed. This forces it into the laterals. 
As it flows down these and comes in contact with 
the previously constructed dams it spreads ami 
is held here until the space between the laterals 
is entirely flooded. The first dams are th.-n cut 
out and it moves on to the next, where it is stopped 
and spreads again. 

WHAT MAN CAN DO IN IRRIGATING. 

A good active man can attend to water for about 
tour or five laterals and will get over from three 
to five acres in twenty-four hours. Not that he will 
remain in the field all this time, but by regulating 
the water so that it will spread considerable land 
may be covered during the night. 

RESULT OF IRRIG.4TI0N. 

An irrigation system affords control of one more 
of the essential factors in growth than is afforded 
under ordinary humid conditions, viz.: the moistuw 
supply. This can be added or withheld according 
as the needs of the growing crops dictate and the 
effect is shown in the yields obtained. In Mon- 
tana, where irrigation has reached a high state of 
perfection, a yield of 140 bushels of oats per acre 
is not uncommon. On the Montana Experiment 
.Station farm, a yield of 14fiii l)ushels of oats to the 
acre was harvested this last season. 

CROPS TH.4T ARE HIGHLY BENEFITED. 

While all the cereal crops do exceptionally well 
under irrigation, one crop that gives phenomenal 
returns is sugar beets. It is recognized that late 
rains which induce late growth in sugar beets 
cause a marked reduction in the sugar content. 
When the moisture can be controlled this does not 
occur and very hlRh sugar content and high purity 
rejults. Under this condition 22 per cent sugar is 
not uncommon. Alfalfa grows splendidl.v under Irri- 
gation and the perfect curing that is possible gives 
a feed ot the highest quality. In all the many hours 
of sunshine as a result of the cloudless days, coupled 
with "water only when best," makes conditions for 
maximum production. 



WHAT FARMERS THINK OF MONTANA. 



CH.^NCES BETTER IN MONTANA. 



Mr. Max Bass. 



Great Falls, Mont. 



Dear Sir; Have lived in Montana twenty-four 
years. In 1SS4 I engaged in stockraising and farm- 
ing near Milligan, Mont. I believe that a farmer's 
chances of success are better in this part of Mon- 
tana than in any of the eastern states. His income 
in proportion to the amount of his investment is 
many times greater; the markets are good; his in- 
come is sure, and the value of his holdings is 
constantly increasing. Have been successful myself 
and believe that others coming here now can do as 
well. J. W. Milligan. 

Mr. Max Bass. Houskin, Mont. 

Dear Sir: I have been farming five years. The 
first year I had a fine crop. My wheat went 
thirty-seven bushels per acre that year, oats aver- 
aged sixty bushels, oarley fifty bushels, potatoes 
200 bushels, timothy hay two tons per acre. The 
second year the oats went forty bushels, barley 
thirtv-five bushels, potatoes 100 bushels per acre. 
The "third vear mv wheat averaged seventeen bush- 
els to the "acre, oats twenty bushels, barley twenty 
bushels, potatoes about seventy-five bushels to the 
acre. Mv potato crop was poor that year, be- 
cause I "planted on too wet ground. Hay about 



one ton to the acre. The fourth year wheat wi>nt 
ten bushels to the acre, barley thirty bushels, 
potatoes 2.">0 bushels per acre, hay one and one-half 
Ions to the acre. Last year wheat averaged fifteen 
bushels per acre, barley fifty bushels, potatoes 
l."i0 bushels, hay one ton per acre. 

The years l!t04 and 1!»0.") were said to be the 
dryest during the last fifteen years. The cllmat.- 
is very good and my stock is looking fine. 
Yours truly, 

Fred Gustafson. 

Houskin, Mont. 
" Dear^'sir: I came here from South Dakota sev- 
enteen years ago and I think Montana the l>eBl 
stue for a pool man who is willing to work that 
1 have ev"r seen. I have grown good crops for th>- 
past 16 years. "Wheat will average twenty-llvo to 
thirtv bushels per acre, oats forty-five t.> fifty 
bushels, barley forty to fifty bushels, potatoes 1... 
sacks, kveraeing fully 100 pounds to the sack am 
good crops ot timothy and alfalfa. Ail without 

""'"'1 h^ls'^s' a fine countrj- for stock. Climate Is very

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 
NEBRASKA 

ONE OF THE GREAT YOUNG WESTERN STATES WITH NUMEROUS I3IPORTANT INDUS- 
TRIES BEING DEVELOPED. 



Nebraska is one of the largest states, having an 
area of 76,855 square miles, being more than six 
times as large as the state of Massachusetts. 

ALL RIVERS SLOPE TO THE MISSISSIPPI 
RIVER. 

It occupies an elevated plateau, the lowest por- 
tion being in the southeastern part of the State, 
where the elevation is 880 feet. The eastern half 
of the State has an average elevation of 1.400 feet 
and the whole State averages 2,312 feet above the 
sea. 

The principal rivers are the Missouri, along the 
eastern boundary, and the Platte, Niobrara and the 
Republican, all tlowing east. There are few swamps 
and mashes, but quite a number of small lakes. 

ATMOSPHERE DRY AND INVIGORATING. 

Though great extremes of heat and cold are ex- 
perienced in this State sometimes, they are not 
usual. The mean temperature is about 51, ranging 
from 94 above to 17 below zero. The mean temper- 
ature of the North Platte is 46. The annual rainfall 
is about 22 inches. 

Though the climate Is mild and dry, drowth 
rarely damages the crops, for the soil is such that 
it withstands extreme and prolonged heat. The 
mean temperature during the winter months ranges 
from 22 to 30 degrees, that of the spring from 
47 to 49 degrees, of the summer from 70 to 74 
degrees, and of the autumn from 49 to 51 degrees. 

HEAT TEMPERED BY PRAIRIE VTINDS. 

The lieat of tlie summer is tempered by the 
prairie winds, and the nights are usually cool. The 
greatest amount of rain falls in May and June. 
The average annual temperature for 15 years at 
Kearney was 47.53; at Omaha it is about 48. 
The average annual rainfall at Kearney is 25.2.") 
Inches. In parts of the west and southwest it is 17 
to 19 inches. 

AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL 
POSSIBILITIES. 

Give to a good climate a strong rich soil and 
thereon will be ultimately a prosperous, wealthy 
population. As all wealth comes from the soil, we 
can largely estimate the future of a region by its 

fertility. 

The Soil in the eastern part of this State is a 
rich black vegetable mold from 2 to 10 feet deep, 
slightly impregnated with lime, free from stones or 
gravel, easily plowed and underlaid by a yellow 
clay in most places. 

Up to the present time the cultivation of the soil 
end stock raising are the principal industries of the 
State. Of the 49,177,600 acres, the grazing sections 
comprise about 23,000,000 acres, or about one-half of 
the State. This entire region for the most part is 
well watered. 

FORMERLY A GREAT CATTLE REGION. 

The wild grasses which formerly covered large 
portions of the State were very nutritious and large 
herds of cattle from Texas were pastured and 
fattened here for the eastern markets. The steady 
eettlement, taking up and fencing off the land is 
changing the whole region into an area of cultivated 
farms. 

W'e say "is changing," from the fact that this 
Is a young state yet, with only about a small num- 
ber o'f persons to the square mile, less than a third 
as dense a population as Missouri and less than 
a half that of Kansas. 

Though Nebraska is a young State, with over 
4,000,000 acres of government land in the state 
not taken up yet. the yield of cereals in one recent 
year in Nebraska was, wheat, 48,002,603 bushels; 
oats, 58.474.370 bushels, and 263.551,772 bushels of 
corn, being third in rank in the corn-producing 
States. 



DEVELOPMENT IN MANUFACTURING. 

But while the rich soil of the .State will always 
make Nebraska an agricultural State, it is already 
becoming a good deal of a manufacturing point 
as illustrated in the tact that in 1906 the annual 
value of manufactured products in the State in a 
late year was 154,918,220. To make that product, 
20,260 wage-earners were employed to whom was 
paid $11,022,149. 

Omaha, the metropolis of the State, has one of 
the most complete establishments in the United 
States for smelting, separating and refining ores, 
of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, brought here 
from mining regions on the line of the Union Pa- 
cific and other railroads. Other industries include 
machine shops, distilleries and manufacturers of 
brick, steam engines, etc. In South Omaha are the 
extensive stock yards of the Union Pacific Railroad, 
occupying a large tract of land. 

Omaha is the third largest pork-packing city in 
the world, with immense packing houses having 
plants valued at over $2,500,000. 

ELEVATORS, SALT, LEATHER, FURNITURE. 

Lincoln, a great railroad center, has foundries 
and grain elevators, extensive manufactures of salt, 
also leather, furniture, bricks and tiles. Other 
cities in the State are rapidly developing manu- 
facturing institutions, among these Kearney, Ne- 
braska City and Hastings, all places of importance, 
while Beatrice, in the southeastern part of the 
state, has large quarries. 

A GREAT C03IING INDUSTRY, 

The manufacture of sugar from the sugar beets is 
evidently destined to be one of the large industries 
of the state, and to make this an absolutely safe 
enterprise the United States government is entering 
upon an extensive system of adding to the produc- 
tive power of the western part of the state by irri- 
gation. The following is the outline of the plan 
mapped out, which will affect Scotts Bluff, Banner 
and Cheyenne counties in western Nebraska. 

NORTH AND SOUTH PLATTE RIVERS. 

There are two important rivers in the western 
part of this state. One, the North Platte, which 
enters Nebraska at Scotts Bluff county, and flows 
eastward across the entire state, a distance of over 
400 miles, emptying into the Missouri River at 
Plattsmouth, some fifteen miles south of Council 
Bluffs. 

The other river is the South Platte, which comes 
in from Colorado, enters Nebraska in Deuel county. 
Hows eastward and .joins the North Platte River 
at the town of North Platte in Lincoln County. 

IRRIGATION IN NEBRASKA. 

Examination has sho^Ti that a considerable body 
of land can be irrigated ijy holding the North 
Platte in certain natural reservoirs in eastern 
Wyoming and by the construction of an interstate 
canal 25,000 acres of sandy land can be reclaimed 
in Wyoming and 900,000 acres in Nebraska. 

The head-gate for this interstate canal will 
be at a point about midway between Guernsey 
and Fort Laramie in Wyoming on the North 
Platte River and the canal will extend 150 miles 
into Nebraska to the vicinity of Bridgeport in 
Cheyenne County. 

The lands benefited by this government irriga- 
tion project in Nebraska lie in Sioux, Scotts Bluff, 
Banner and Cheyenne Counties. By examination 
of our counties having government land therein it 
will be seen that a large amount of government 
sandy land is in Cheyenne, Scotts Bluff and Sioux 
Counties and a barren soil all along this 150 miles 
of irrigation canal will become highly fertile. 

The particulars about the opening of this land 
by the government to settlement, cost of land, etc., 
can be learned by addressing the Government Land 
Department, Alliance, Boxbutte County, Nebraska.

^sk also about other irrigation schemes in Ne- 
braska. It is claimed that in 1S95 the State at 
that time had 2,219 miles of irrigating canals, 
built or under construction. 

■THE DENVER MARKETS. 

A study of railroad maps will show that this 
newly reclaimed land will, by the Burlington and 
Union Pacific railways be but a short distance 
from Denver, which market will call for all the 
fruits, melons and early vegetables that can be 
raised in those counties. 

Naturall.v, as sugar beet raising is coming into 
practice in Nebraska, this irrigated land will be 
a sure producer of this product. 

It may interest the reader to know that mechan- 
ical devices have been so perfected in harvesting 
beets that a team, driven by the side of a row of 
beets, so drives an appliance under the beets so 
as to litt the vegetable from the ground, top it 
and carry it by an endless apron to a wagon by 
the side of the machine. Thence, fresh from the 
, ground, with the soil still clinging to them, and 
"without a touch of human hand, they pass on 
through the factory, from one process to another, 
until in eighteen hours' time they come out white, 
sugar ready for the market. 

MAY BE CENTER OF SUGAR PRODUCTION. 

With a favorable climate for growing the beet, 
with a fertile soil adapted to its production, witli 
all the latest modern appliances for the conver- 
sion of the juices of the beet into sugar, it is 
possible that Nebraska may become tiie center for 
the beet sugar industry of the United States. 

We advise the land-seeker to write to the United 
States Department of Agriculture for Bulletin No. 
257, entitled "Soil Fertility," and Bulletin No. 
52, entitled "Sugar Beet," and after a study of 
these write to Scyler, Colfax Co., managers of the 
sugar beet colony at Grand Island, Hall County, 
and Norfolk, Madison County, asking what induce- 
ments they oifer to growers of beets. It should 
be unnecessary for us to say here that in order 
to get a prompt answer it is always wise to en- 
close with a letter a prepaid return envelope. 

ALWAYS DEMAND FOB SUGAR. 

There will be a never-ceasing call for syrups 
and sweets, whether made as a glucose from corn, 
from fruits, sorghum, from maple trees, from flow- 
ers by bees, from sugar cane or sugar beets, it 
always will be in demand and will sell; with what 
profit depends upon management in the production 
„of the article. 

The land seeker who will hunt down the sugar 
beet, go into and raise it, may certainly have a 
prosperous future.

Wild fruits abound, among which plums and Kranes 
fn^ir^lf^,' , 7"spicuous. The grapes are limited 
to timber belts. The smaller wild fruits are widely 
distributed over the slate. Grasses and corn ar"e 
the principal products. Corn, especially. Is a rarely 
failing crop. Eastern Nebraska is eminently 
adapted to the growth of apples, grapes, plums and 
cherries do equally well. reaches are successfully 
grown south of the Platte. 

Mining:. The mineral wealth of the state con- 
sists mainly of bituminous black and lignite t-tml 
in the beds, with a little iron. Valuable beds of 
limestone, yellowish gray sandstone and red free- 
stone. Also good brick and pottery clay, and re- 
markably pure salt. 

CAN MAKE ENTRY OF 640 ACRES. 

In 1904 Congress passed an act known as the Kin- 
kaid Bill, under the terms of which large tracts of 
public lands in northwestern Nebraska, reached by 
the line of the Chicago & North-Western Railway, 
were thrown open to settlement. The principal fea- 
ture of the Kinkaid Bill is that the applicant may, 
in the territory named, make entry under the home- 
stead laws of 640 acres (one square mile) instead of 
160 acres of land. The purpose of this is to enable 
the homesteader to use his land profitably for graz- 
ing purposes. 

There are large quantities of these unallotted pub- 
lic lands in Nebraska, situated in the northern part 
of the state, through which the Chicago & North- 
Western Railway passes directly. The lands affected 
have been open to the homesteader in lots of 160 
acres for many years, but have not been heretofore 
taken up to any great extent because of the fact 
that a quarter-section is not sufficient to use profit- 
ably for cattle-raising purposes. 

The rainfall in this part of the state is not suffi- 
cient for successful farming except by the advanci-d 
methods of scientific dry farming, and it is on this 
account that the Kinkaid Bill has been passed, wild 
the result that a Nebraska calllc ranch, one mile 
square, absolutely free, is the offer which (lie <ii>\- 
eriiment makes to every man or bead of a fuiiiil> in 
the United States. 

From the 8,500,000 acres of these lands, any one 
desiring to become possessor of a section of grazing 
land should have no trouble in finding a tract suit- 
able to his taste, and now that the practical merits 
of dry-farming methods have become established 
clearly, the value of these lands for agricultural pur- 
poses has become much greater than ever before. 

As an example of the quality of the lands. Rock 
County actually ships more hay to market via The 
North-Western Line from the town of Newport than 
is shipped to market from any other one point any- 
Avhere in the world; whil^ one of the timst potato- 
raising districts in the West has its shipping center 
at Gordon, in Sheridan County. 

Such towns as O'Neill. Long Pine, Valentine, Rush- 
vilie, Chadron and Lusk are well equipped with 
stores, banks, schools and churches, and the whole 
region is well populated. ._ , ..

NEVADA 



Down on the western slope of the Rocky Moun- 
tains lies a great state called Nevada. In the far- 
away-back, in the past, many thousands of years 
ago, when the earth was gradually cooling, the 
interior heat, in finding vent on the earth's surface, 
sputtered up through this portion of the earth's 



crust, and finally left immense elevations, known 
as the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. 

Naturally, when elevations are made there are 
valleys between, and with plenty of room on this 
part of the globe, the valleys are broad. Out of 
the tops of these elevations volcanic fires threw 



130 



lava which, during the many centuries that these 
mountain cliimneys emitted ashes, settled into thi- 
depressions and elevated the floors of the valleys 
until, in the final cooling of the whole region, these 
valleys are vast plateaus, elevated 4,000 feet above 
the sea. 

MOUNTATNS STEAL THE MOISTrRE. 

As clouds cross the elevations the mountains 
arrest their progress, cause precipitation of cloud 
moisture which, in the cold upper air, turns to 
shew. Thus the tall mountains, absorbing tlie 
moisture from passing clouds, nothing or little of 
moisture is left lor rainfall in the valleys. 

Such is the topography and such are the atmos- 
pheric conditions in many portions of the Rocky 
Mountain region. Tall mountains covered with per- 
petual snow which melting in the summer sun- 
shine causes the continual and rapid How of great 
rivers In the valleys, while lowlands suffering from 
lack of moisture remain a desert waste. 

This whole area occupied by Nevada was ceded 
to the United States by Mexico in 184S and set- 
tled by Mormons who, in passing across the coun- 
try had found tracts of land that they deemed 
favorable for agriculture. 

The valle.v lands of Nevada are from one mile 
to twenty-flve miles wide, the most of them easily 
cultivated and wonderfully productive. One of the 
largest of these valleys is in the western part of 
the state, and mostly in Churchill County,. This is 
known as the Carsou Sink Valley covering an area 
of several hundred thousand acres. 

This valley is the bed of a great lake, long single 
dried up. There is no outlet to the valley and the 
water which empties on to the plain from the Sierra 
Nevada Mountains, sinks into the sands of the des- 
ert or are lost by evaporation. 

WHY AIR IS SO CLE.IR IN NEVADA. 

The clouds having given up their moisture and 
been dispelled ou the mountains thus leaves a per- 
fectly clear atmosphere and bright sunshine for 
more than 300 days in the year. The result is 
extraordinary growth of all agricultural products, 
if water can be supplied; but water must be abun- 
dant or evaporation will leave the land barren. 

EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION. 

Seeing the effect of irrigation on a small scale, 
some of the enterprising citizens of the State in- 
duced the general government to turn the Truckee 
River into the Carson River, and holding the waters 
of the combined streams in lakes and large reser- 
voirs, irrigate the great plain in the Carson Sink 
Valley, comprising S.jO.OOO acres. 340,000 of which 
acreage yet belongs to the government. Some 58.000 
acres of this irrigated land is owned by the rail- 
roads and private parties who want to sell then- 
lands and bring in settlers. See the Nevada- 
Truckee-Carson Project in our chapter on irrigation. 

This Truckee-Carson Government irrigation proj- 
ect is one of the largest ever undertaken, and will, 
when fully completed, cost the government about 
$9,000,000; but the great amount of land which will 
be reclaimed and the prices at which it will sell, 
will fully pay the cost. 

The Chamber of Commerce at Fallon. Nevada, and 
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company are send- 
ing out particulars as to this large area of land 
just opened to the public. 

From one of the circulars being sent out we quote 
the following: 

UNCLE SAMS NIN^E MILLION DOLLAR FARM. 

"Is he going to farm it himself? Oh. no: as soon 
as he has turned the wate)- on it from the big reser- 
voirs he has been building, he is going to give it 
away to the people of the United States. 

"How can you get a part of it? Just as easy — 
if you are a citizen and he has not already given 
you a homestead in another place, you need simply 
tell the agent at the land office in Carson or the 
agent for the big farm at Fallon, that you want 
eighty acres of good land. Pick out the eight}- 
acres first that you want and tell him just where 
it is. Then pay "him eight dollars for papers show- 
ing that Uncle Sam has agreed to give you that 
land if you begin living on it within six months and 
make it a home for the next five years. 

"Is that all that Uncle Sam charges? That is all 
for the land — eight dollars. For the water that he 
puts on the land to make things grow, he charges 
you $2.60 per acre every year for ten years. Then 
the water and land belong to one another and both 
belong to you. After the tenth year the only charge 
will be a few cents per acre to keep up the ditches 
and reservoirs.

WAGES PAID TO WORK.MEN. 

"Uncle Sam would like five hundred more men 
to work on the irrigation system during Uil ^oxi

dred people and a hotel and restaurant. Stillwater 
fourteen miles northeast of Fallon, has a hotel 
stores and a good school. There are postoffices at 
Leetville, St. Clair and Hill. 

"There are openings now for a flour mill, grain 
warehouse, and many other industries in demand in 
a new country. 

"It requires but very little imagination to see this 
great plain thickly settled with a people having 
every rural comfort — a valley of waving fields and 
great orchards, turnpikes lined with trees, homes 
bright with Howers and such green lawns as onlv 
land of ever-living water can own, streams flowing 
as silver ribbons everywhere.

tively few years have 100.000 people, and Sini.ono

rich and valuable farms, by the magic of irrigation.

NEW HAMPSHIRE 



The "Granite State," Famous for Its ^^liite Mountains, .Abandoned Farms. Summer Homes 

and Fifturesque Kesorts. 



This State, famous for its granite stone, wliich 
early gave it the name, "Granite State," distin- 
guished for its Dartmouth College, its White Moun- 
tains and its Merrimac River, which turns the 
greatest number of mill wheels of any river in the 
world — with its Winnipeseogee Lake, covering 72 
square miles, up in Belknap County (see County 
6) and Suriape Lake (area. 11 square miles) in 
Merrimack County, a county remarkable for hav- 
ing within its borders over 300 lakes and ponds, 
60 rivers, 190 brooks and 290 mountains. 

MOST PICTURESQUE REGION IN THE WORLP. 

As a whole. New Hampshire, with its moun- 
tains, rivers, brooks and groves of maples, ^villows. 
elms and evergreens, is the most romantic and 
beautifully picturesque region on the American 
Continent. 

For delightful summer residence the entire slate 
is becoming celebrated. Pitch tent almost any- 
where and the visitor has sublime mountain view, 
a little lake close by, an active, rippling, bub- 
bling brook, with speckled trout, running across 
the farm. 

A writer well acquainted with New Hampshire 
says: "The fascination of the state with a family 
coming here to spend a summer will so grow upon 
them that they may wish to remain permanently, 
winters, as well as summers. If so. the home- 
seeker mav buv a little farm, abandoned by the 
familv that has gone west and left their comfort- 
able farm dwelling their fine apple orchards, maple 



sugar groves — a snug, beautiful home with land 
enough to produce a living — all this offen-d inr 
sale so cheap the land seeker will be surprised. 
Let him enter some employmeot for business ex- 
ercise in the adjoining village, and when winti-r 
arrives with its snows, as the rural mall carri.r 
brings the news from all the outside world, he sits 
down at evening with his family before the blazing 
hickory lo'<s. giving a charming fire and heut. 
from the open fire place in the home. .Add to this 
mealy potatoes, maple syrup, apples and hickory 
nuts, honev. pure cream, the sweetest butter and 
fresh eggs, all produced on his own property aud — 
what more does he want?" 

DEAL IN AB.VNDONED FARMS. 

He may want a more active business possibly, 
•icimething more extensive to occupy his mind than 
lie linds in the little nearby village. For larger 
emplovment he buvs the neighboring abundoneil 
property, trims the orch.irds. fertilizes and re- 
claims the land, paints the houses and adds sucli 
attraction to the premises as modern 'detts and 
taste will suggest. He may follow by selling.

NEW JERSEY 

Closely on the Edge of New York and Philadelphia, Great Markets for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. 



By virtue of its location New Jersey is a very 
important State. It has the Atlantic Ocean on (he 
east and the Delaware Rive:- and Bay on the west 
side. It receives the surplus population of New 
York in the northern portion of the State and gets 
the overflow of people from Philadelphia in the 
south end of the State. 

EASY TO GO ANYV^TIERE FROM NEW JERSEY. 

It IS easy to go anywhere from New Jersey. The 
State is covered with a network of railways. Steain 
and trolley lines lead to steamboat landings, whence 
people journey by water to all parts of the earth, 
while railroad lines radiate from New Y'ork and 
Philadelphia in all directions. 

In the purchase of land and settlement in this 
State the home seekers will not fail to observe thus 
the superior facilities for transportation to the 
great markets. 

AN EXCELLENT REGION FOR TRICK FARHONG 

It is clearly evident that this must be an ideal 
region in which to engage in truck farming. While 
the soils in different parts of the State greatly differ 
in natural strength it is found that even on the 
extremely poorest land certain crops do well, and 
even the sand barrens, as they were called, have 
been found well adapted to fruit and vegetable 
gardening. 

In natural fertility the central part of the State is 
best, but experience is proving that excellent crops 
are being grown on the oak and pine land in the 
southern part of the State, the result of intelligent 
cultivation. 

Considering the great nearby markets it is well 
to engage in producing that which can be taken into 
the towns in the early mornings perfectly ripe and 
fresh. 

FRESH FOODS ALWAYS IN IMMEDIATE DEMAND 

Good milk and cream is always in demand; fresh 
eggs are always wanted. Vegetables just taken from 



the soil find read.v buyers. Perfectly ripe fresh 
strawberries will make a reputation for the growers 
in a short time. Blackberries, peaches, melons and 
tomatoes are much more highly valued when they 
can come into the market fresh from the vines. 

This certainly is a great advantage in behalf of 
New Jersey, the whole of the State having a soil 
on which can easily be grown all those products in 
the immediate vicinity of the hundreds of thou- 
sands of people who are ready to buy. 

There are always certain people who want to go 
West, the result being that properties in the East- 
ern States are vacated and farms, including some- 
times 20, 50 and a hundred acres are thrown on 
the market at a price often far below what it would 
cost to erect the buildings. 

To show how cheaply such properties may be 
bought we pursue the plan of selecting from ad- 
\ertisements a sample list of clneap small farms 
which we publish iierewith. See advertisements, 
with our description of some of the Eastei-n 
States, which we copy to give readers to under- 
stand what is in the market and for sale. Very 
full lists can usually be obtained by application to 
the Secretary of State. 

Originally we had not thought of givin.g the name 
of a real estate dealer, the public being of the 
opinion, we thought, that this work was simply 
a.i advertising medium for real estate, but subse- 
quent consideration convinced us that our work 
would be much more valuable to the land-seeker 
were we to give, with description of land, prices at 
which they could be bought and of whom they 
could be obtained. Hence our real estate mention 
of various properties for sale, through a study of 
which the reader can learn from whom the lands 
we mention can be bought. 

In our description of lands. States and localities 
we aim to give also the opportunities existing in 
that region for getting emplo.vnient outside of cul- 
tivating the soil. Hence we dwell considerably on 
the manufacturing facilities and other enterprises 
going forward in every section of the country.

New Jersey Opportunities in A griculture and Varied Enterprises 



OPPOKTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT IN NEW 
JERSEY. 

We may mention right here that New Jersey 
affords common labor and skilled mechanics 
superior opportunities lor getting employment, and, 
aside from cultivating the land, various members of 
the household may obtain vi'ork and get good wages 
in neighboring factories. As proof of this, statis- 
tics of one of the rt-cent years show .$71.j,(iti(),17(i

New Jersey Health and Pleasure Resorts 

SEVERAL or THE MOST POPULAR PLEASURE RESORTS ARE IN NEW JER.SEY. 



Barnegat City Beach, N. J. — On the New Jersey 
seacoast. three miles from Barnegat City, and four- 
teen miles from Barnegat Bay station on the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad (by steamer) this new summer 
resort invites visitors by its beautiful location, its 
numerous cottages and its still and surf bathing, 
hunting, fishing, boating and other recreations. 

Lons Branch, N. J. — Twenty-eight miles south of 
New York is Long Branch, an old town which for 
many years was one of the most popular of the 
summer resorts in the United States. The ocean 
beach here is admirably adapted to bathing, a fact 
appreciated by the people of New York, as seen 
in the great number of New Y'orkers who come here 
from the metropolis regularly, daily and annually, 
for pleasure, rest and recreation. With the estab- 
lishments of numerous manufacturing industries 
and the development of various resorts near New 
York, Long Branch is not spoken of as a pleasure 
resort so much as formerly. It retains, however, a 
large number of permanent residents in the old 
town about a mile back from the beach. 

Pleasure Resorts. — Parties wishing to establish 
other resorts in New Jersey, may wish to know 
of the following:

Ocean Beach, N. J. — Eight miles south of Long 
Branch, near Shark River, and half a mile from 
the ocean, is located this recent acquisition to the 



watering-places of New Jersey, which is principally 
remarkable tor good fishing facilities 

Ocean City, N. J.— Not many years ago, n.'ar 
Great Egg Harbor, opposite Somers Point Ihi- 
Methodists established a pleasant religious reson 
bearing the above name. It has a beach 7 mlbs 
long, smooth and hard, and handsome residences, 
abundant flowers and local celebrities, for attrac- 
tions. 

Atlantic City, N. J. — Between Long Branch and 
Cape May, on whai is known as Absecom Beach, la 
located this attractive resort for invalids and tour- 
ists. Such are the advantages of its situation on 
the seacoast, that both summer and winter It ri- 
ceives many visitors. During the warm weather 
there is safe and delightful surf bathing, wiih 
hotable facilities for sailing and fishing; while in 
the colder seasons the mild temperature, sunny 
skies and pleasant surroundings, make a sojourn 
there extremely agreeable. Atlantic City is a pleas- 
ant town, with handsome hotels, pretty cottages ami 
wide and shady streets, suitable for long drives, and 
possesses very desirable accommodations for the 
throngs who visit it. The ease with which it may 
be reached from Philadelphia and New York add 
much to its popularity as a seaside resort. 

Cape May, N. J. — For particular excellence in 
whatever pertains to a delightful seaside watering 
place. Cape May has become justly celebrated. All 
that nature has left undone, the improvement of 
the age has supplied, for the health, comfort and 
enjoyment of old and young. The beach ranks 
among ihe finest anywhere for the purposes i>f 
bathing, promenading or driving, while the city 
itself, with its broarl avenues lying between lines 
of shade-trees, and abounding in handsome resi- 
dences, hotels and ornamental grounds, invites thou- 
sands of gay and cultured people from all parts of 
the Union, to enjoy its beauties. 



New Jersey Manufacturing Cities 



Very plainly on our map of New Jersey are seen 
the locations of Hoboken, Jersey City, Perth Am- 
boy, Trenton and Camden, all residence towns for- 
merly, and suburbs of New Y^ork and Philadelphia. 

These towns have permitted the incoming of fac- 
tories, and have increased in population accord- 
ingly, as seen by reference to our list of New 
Jersey cities. 

Hoboken, N, J. — This city is only a quarter of 
a mile from New Y'ork with which it is closely 
connected by ferries. Originally a residence lo- 
cality it is now noted for its lead pencil factory, 
iron foundries, paper mills, silk works and other 
factories. 

Jersey City. — This town is situated on the West 
side of Hudson River, a mile from New York, with 
which city it is connected with ferries. Among its 
factories are watch-making, glass works, breweries, 
sugar refining, foundries and numerous other in- 
dustries. 

Perth Amboy, N. J. — This city was formerly called 
by the Indians -Ajnbo. About 1680 it was settled by 



a colony from Scotland who gave the name Perth to 
the place, in honor of the earl of Perth, one of 
the colony proprietors. The Indian name was so 
much used, however, that finally the place taking 
both names, was named Perth Amboy. The place 
is noted for its manufacture of fire brick, stone- 
ware and pottery. 

Trenton, N. J. — Settled about 1680, this place 
was named in honor of William Trent, speaker of 
the house of assembly, in 172ii. Was selected as 
the capital of the state in 1700, and Incorporated 
as a city in 17!»J. This city is widely known for 
its manufacture of crockery. 

Camden, N. J. — Situated on the left bank of the 
Delaware River, opposite the city of Philadelphia, 
with which city it is connected by several ferri<-8. 
There are several iron foundries here, chemical 
and glass works, besides other factories. The town 
is handsomely located on a plain and is a beautiful 
residence city for great numbers of people from 
Philadelphia."

NEW MEXICO 



Contains the Oldest House in the United States 

In the writing of New Mexico we realize that we 
have set aside a very small space to do justice to 
a state 14 times larger than Massachusetts, a region 
of the country containing the oldest house in the 
United States, at Santa Fe, the oldest settlement 
and oldest resident civilization. 

In the preparation of this volume we early began 
collecting literature relating to New Mexico, and in 
a brief time our desk was filled with books and 
pamphlets descriptive of the minerals, the health 
resorts, the antiquities, the agricultural possibilities, 
the irrigation schemes going forward, the easy 
terms on small weekly payments, by which lauds 
could bo bought from the irrigation companies, 
and the profits in fruit raising and farming. 

EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION PROSPECTS HERE. 

Over the immense area of this State there are 
many mountains, between which lie broad, level 
valleys of rich soil. As the annual rainfall is 
usually too light for agricultural requirements, ex- 
tens-ive irrigation s.vstems under control of private 
corporations and the general government are being 
developed. 

HUNDREDS OF THOUS.\NDS OF .\CRES 
RECL.VIMED. 

Thus hundreds of thousands of acres of desert 
lands in New Mexico are being reclaimed and made 
profitable for the settlers. 

All farmers do not depend on these general plans 
of irrigation. They buy cheaper lands, sink wells, 
put in a gasoline engine, construct a reservoir and 
irrigation systerri of tlT:'ir own and demonstrale that 
they can be independent of drouth and have a 
certainty of crops. 

WOULD PAY EASTERN FARMERS TO STUDY IR- 
RIG.\TION HERE. 

11 would well pay many an Eastern farmer, who 
is never sure what his crop will be. because of 
uncertain rainfall, to visit these self-irrigated farm- 
ers, study their systems, return East and put theii 
methods into practice on their own farms. 

From the literature sent out from the irrigation 
associations, from the railroad companies, and the 
Bureau of Immigration, located at Santa Fe, N. M., 
the reader can obtain a large amount of statistics 
and information which will be useful. 

From a book entitled "The Land of Sunshine," 
we condense tlie following; 

A L.\ND OF OPP0RTU^^TIES. 

"New Mexico is a land of opportunities. The 
major part of its wealth is latent, the bulk of its 
natural resources is undeveloped. There are three 
hundred acres of land to each inhabitant, and only 
one acre out of every three hundred is under culti- 
vation. Few of the almost three hundred mining 
districts have been thoroughly piospected, much less 
systematically developed. 

FOR THE CAPITALIST. 

Capital is invited, for money is a prime requisite 

nowadays for the development of resources. Good 
returns upon carefully invested capital are certain 
in a greater measure than in any other part of the 
I'nion. 



Oldest Settlement and Oldest Resident Civilization. 
FOR THE MANUFACTURER. 

Manufacturers are needed to make use of the raw 

material that New Mexico can and does furnish in 
large quantities. It has grazing upon its thousand 
hills SIX million sheep of improved grades, there- 
fore it produces the raw material for many woolen 
mills. Thus in other industries. 

FOR THE HUSBANDMAN. 

Farmers are urged to come to till the fertile soil 
under the most favorable conditions, and with home 
markets that pay better prices than can be ob- 
tained anywhere else. Only a quarter of a million 
of acres are under cultivation, and most of these 
only in forage plants or in products that demand 
little attention; four times that area is immediately 
available for agricultural purposes. 

FOR THE aUNER. 

A great field for the miner! New Mexico lies in 
the same mineral zone as Colorado, with the dif- 
ference that Colorado has been well prospected, 
while in New Mexico, although mining is an old 
industry, there are many virgin mineral districts 
and even the oldest mining sections have been in- 
completely prospected and but little developed. 

FOR THE BUSINESS MAN. 

The business men of New Mexico have most of 
them come from the east and it seems that, without 
exception, they have do le exceedingly well. 

FOR MECHANICS. 

While New Mexico is no manufacturing' com- 
monwealth, yet mechanics are needed in the building 
trades, in the coal mines, in the railroad shops, 
or to go into business for themselves on a small 
scale. 

FOR THE HEALTH SEEKER. 

Health seekers are invited. New Mexico does 
not intend to shut the door upon them. Physicians 
the world over recognize that its climate offers 
the best, and in most circumstances the only con- 
ditions under which those suffering from lung, 
throat and nervous trouble can be cured.

NEW YORK STATE 



Having the Advantage of Age, Experience, Central Location, Ocean Sliipping, Port of Landing, and 

Superior Transportation Facilities. 



Examination of location, in a study of New York 
State, reveals why this is the foremost state in the 
Union in several respects. First, it is a large state, 
second it is an old state, third it has a healthy 
cliinate and fertile soil, and fourth, in means of 
transportation it is so accessible for immigration, 
and so favorably situated to reach all the best 
markets, with agricultural and manufactured pro- 
duction it is not surprising that there is a large 
population to the square mile. 

In fact, the surprise is that there is not a greater 
density of population. With every natural advan- 
tage, in productive soil, rivers, canals and railroads, 
with highly favorable climate, with a rapidly in- 
creasing population calling for every agricultural 
product which can be raised, it is clearly evident 
that land must become much more valuable than 
it now is in all portions of the state. 

ADV.\NT.\GE OF LARGE POPULATION. 

Density of population largely determines real 
estate values. A small store space on Broadway, 
New York, or on State Street, in Chicago, will bring 
a large annual rental because so many thousands 
of people go by that store every day. It is true 
that goods may not increase in price, but the great 
number called for with some profit on each article 
sold is what brings the ultimate large profit in 
the aggregate. 



Thus the vast Increase In population throughout 
New York State means a greater and greater 
demand for food and a consequent greater profit 
b"cause of the larger business. 

Onl.v about one-half of the State of New York 
is under cultivation at the present time. And this 
with eight millions of people. When three milions 
more are added to the population .and there is a 
third greater demand, the land to supply that 
demand for food must yet be a good deal more 
valuable. 

COMPETING WITH WESTERN L.INDS. 

It is true that the opening of new western lands 
will increase the volume of foodstuff, but it will 
always cost a certain percent of income to trans- 
port goods, and the nearer to market the products 
are produced, the greater the sating on transpor- 
tation, the greater the proHt on farm products, and 
the more valuable is nearby land. 

ADV.\NT.\GE OF BEING NE.4R MARKETS. 

With fertility of soil kept up, with all the up-to- 
date appliances in use for growing crops, it is not 
possible to conceive that far awa.v land can be 
worth as much as that which is nearer to market. 
The nearbv farmer is ahead of the western agricul- 
turist all "the time in cost of transportation, and 
therein largely lies his profit.

New York Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



Before groingr West it is well for the land seeker' 
to come into communication with real estate market 
conditions near him. 

It may be well to buy a small place near a man- 
ufacturing city, go into intensive farming, culti- 
vate very thoroughly a small tract of land, raise 
what the people want, get it to market fresh and 
in the best possible condition. 

It seems folly for people to leave conditions- which 
are as good at home as abroad, to go far away 
into a new land among strangers, when it Is pos- 
sible to do as well or perhaps better in the imme- 
diate vicinity of where they have always lived. 

Another factor to Vje considered is the immense 
amount of manufacturing going forward in this 
state. If the family is large and the farm is 
small it is often of advantage to have opportunity 
for some members of the household to work in a 
nearby factory while others till the farm. 

What New York in manufacturing is, compared 
with the four greatest manufacturing states in 
the Union, is seen by the number of wage-earners 
which each state employs. Thus, Illinois had in a 
recent census, 370,436; Massachusetts, 488,3110 ; 
Pennsylvania, 763,382, while New York had 8.j6,- 
947, or nearly 100,000 more wage-earners employed 
than Pennsylvania. 

ONE-HALF OF THE STATE YET CULTIVATED. 

New York's annual payroll to workmen in manu- 
factories was $430,014,851. But this is only the 



beginning. With the harnessing of waters in the 
one hundred and thirty rivers in the State, witn 
the development of electric power, as yet only 
eorameneing, we may imagine that New York, with 
only half its land surface under cultivation, will 
find room and opportunity for thousands of other 
land-seekers right here, within the boundaries of 
the State. 

In a journey throughout the State investigation 
shows that New York stands first in dairy prod- 
ucts and in number and value of nurseries. Bruoni 
corn has long oeen the staple of the Mohawk Val- 
ley, hops have been an iinportant crop in Oneida, 
Madison, Otsego and Schoharie Counties. Wayne 
County produces more dried fruit than any county 
in the State, and is also famous for its oil of pepper- 
mint. Grapes are successfully grown in the lake 
region of the central part of the State, in the Val- 
ley of the Hudson, below the Highlands, and in the 
north shore of Long Island. 

3Iaple sugar is an Important product in north- 
ern and central New York; and fruits, including 
apples, peaches, pears and strawberries are largely 
grown in the western counties north of the water- 
shed; while peaches are an important crop in 
Ulster County. Large tracts of land in the vicinity 
of New York City, and particularly on Long Island, 
are devoted to market gardening and dairying, and 
the inhabitants supply milk, butter, cheese, eggs, 
vegetables, and small fruits to the markets of the 
metropolis. 



HEALTH AND PLEASURE RESORTS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
BEAUTIFUL PICTURESQUE VIEWS. 



Another feature of New York which many people 
forget, and a multitude of people know nothing 
about, IS the scenic attractions of the State. As 
their beauties become known they are visited by 
thousands of tourists annually and great wealth is 
coming to the'State from that source. We could fiil 
a volume descriptive of New York pleasure resorts, 
but content ourselves with mention of only a few 
interesting points, thus: 

FIVE COUNTIES IN ADIRONDACKS. 

Adirondack Mountains, N. Y. Northeastern New 
York, comprising the Counties of Hamilton, Frank- 
lin, Essex and Clinton, is now known to sportsmen 
and pleasure-seekers as the Adirondacks. A chain 
of mountains extends through the counties named, 
from northeast to southwest, on an elevated plateau, 
or ridge, which is nearly 2,000 feet higher than 
the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Five of these 
mountains are remarkable for their height. Mount 
Marcy, the tallest, rises 5,337 feet above the sea- 
level; Mounts St. Anthony and McMartin are each 
estimated to be 5,000 feet, and Mounts Emmons and 
Mclntyre, 4,000 feet above it. Owing to the irregu- 
larity of the mountain chain, and the consequent 
effect upon the country, the scenery is grand and 
romantic. The rivers Au Sable and Saranac, origi- 
nating in the recesses of the mountains, flow into 
Lake Champlain, on the east, while the Cedar and 
Boreas rivers, uniting with the headwaters of the 
Hudson, empty into that stream. There are numer- 
ous other rivers and creeks throughout the Adi- 
rondack region, with several ponds and lakes of va- 
ried magnitude, which add much to the grandeur 
and excellence of this famous resort. Game and 
fish are found within its borders. On the mountains 
abound groves and forests of ash, birch, beech, ma- 
ple, hemlock, spruce, cedar, tamarack, fir and white 
pine trees. Rapids and falls in the streams, which 
are principally navigable for light boats, add diver- 
sity to the rugged surroundings. Tourists are con- 
veyed by boats and footpaths to the numerous 
places of suinmer resort. Timber and iron ore form 
the principal staple productions of the Adirondack 
region, which is accessible by several railroad and 
water routes. 

LINE OF STEAMERS IN ADIRONDACKS. 

Blue Mountain Lake. In the Adirondack (N. Y. ) 
Region, at the base of Blue Mountain, rising to a 
height of 3,824 feet, lies this beautiful sheet of 
water, which forms one of the finest attractions 
of this great resort. A line of steamers makes 
daily trips through this and the neighboring lakes, 
Raquette, Eagle and Utowana, a distance of twenty 
miles, and even twenty miles further, passing 
through Forked Lake and Long Lake to Saranac. 
Blue Mountain Lake is 3% miles long and 2 miles 
wide; Eagle Lake, 2 miles long and % mile wide; 
Utowana Lake, 3 miles long and 1 mile wide. 



DESCRIPTION OF NIAGARA FALLS. 

Niagara Falls, N. Y. By act of Congress, in 
1S85, this great cataract became a national public 
park. The river is 33 miles long. Lake Erie is 
334 feet higher than Lake Ontario, into which the 
river empties. Within a mile above the falls the 
descent is 52 feet. The total width of the river at 
Goat Island is 4,750 feet. The height of the water- 
fall on the American side is 164 feet, and on the 
Canadian side about 150 feet. The new Niagara 
Suspension Bridge is 1,300 feet long, and 190 feet 
above the river. Its towers are each 100 feet high. 
The stairway beside the inclined railway has 290 
steps. Goat Island was so named from goats placed 
there about the year 1790 by Mr. John Stedinan, 
who left them so uncared for during one winter 
that they died of exposure. There are seventeen 
islands in the river, near each other, above the 
Falls, all owned by the estate of Peter B. Porter, 
to whom the property was ceded by the State of 
New York in 181S. The height of the river bank 
at the Biddle Staircase is 185 feet. The old 
Suspension Bridge, 2 miles below the Falls, has 
a floor for the railway CO feet wide, and the track 
is 258 feet above the river. The length of the 
bridge from the center of the towers at each end 
is 822 feet. The height of the towers on the Ameri- 
can side is 88 feet, and on the Canadian side, 78 
feet. The width of the river at the whirlpool is 
300 feet, and its estimated depth is 250 feet. 

PLACID WATERS WITH 1,692 ISLANDS. 

Alexandria Bay, N. Y'. At the approach of the 
St. Lawrence River, a short distance east of Kings- 
ton, Can., the tourist enters Alexandria Bay, quite 
as frequently designated "The Lake of the Thou- 
sand Isles," and which extends down the St. Law- 
rence forty miles, with a breadth of five miles. 
The scenery on this lake is among the finest on the 
continent. Scattered here and there, everywhere 
throughout the placid waters, lie 1,692 islands, of 
every conceivable size and shape; some being mere 
rocky projections above the surface; others, nearly 
as small, covered with verdure, while others, of 
larger size, are luxuriant in shade trees and grassy 
plats, and often lying in most attractive clusters. 
One is 12 miles in length and 2 miles wide. The 
Ijeautiful color of the lea^'es and grass is attributed 
to the bountiful supply of water surrounding the 
islands. Lighthouses, indicating the frequent changes 
in the channel of the stream, add greatly to the 
picturesque diversity of the scenery; and on other 
islands have been erected elegant residences, with 
ornaiuental grounds. Hotels abound at several 
points, and boating, fishing and hunting offer variety 
and pleasure to the seeker of rest and recreation. 

RUGGED AND ROMANTIC DEEP GORGE. 

Watkins Glen, N. Y. Eighty rods from Watkins 
Station, near the head of Seneca Lake, a vast gorge 



146 



New York Picturesque and Interesting Places to Visit 



in a tall, rocky" bluff, 500 feet high, through which 
flows a noisy mountain stream, forms the glen, 
extending a di^ance of about 3 miles. The scenery 
is rugged and romantic in the deep gorge, with 
cascades and towering rocks, a dark pool, narrow 
footpaths, hemlock trees, difficult stairways and a 
balcony overhanging the gorge; solitude and gran- 
deur distinguish the place, and the admirer of na- 
ture may here view it in its wildest phases. Promi- 
nent objects are the Mountain House, a chalet cot- 
tage, an iron suspension bridge across the gorge, an 
art gallery, Glen Cathedral (amphitheater 1,000 feet 
long). Rainbow Falls, Pluto Falls, Omega Falls. 
etc. Other glens in the vicinity present additional 
charms for the tourist. 

CHASM NEAKLY TWO BIILES LONG. 

Au Sable Chasm. Among the many remarkable 
features of the Adirondack region in New York, as 
described above, is a natural chasm in the Pots- 
dain sandstone, through which the Au Sable river 
flows from the northern termination of the Adiron- 
dack Mountains toward Lake Champlain. This 
channel is in some places nearly two hundred feet 
deep, and overshadowed by cedar trees and tall 
precipices of varied shapes. At one point the chan- 
nel is only ten feet in width, while at another it 
expands to fifty feet. The chasm is nearly two 



miles long, and the dark and raging waters dash 
madly down shallow rapids, cascades and falls, 
leaping in one place a distance of twenty feet, and 
at another, sixty feet — the whole forming a scene 
that rivals the famous cataracts of mountain 
streams in Switzerland. The surroundings are as 
remarkable as the chasm itself, embracing views of 
mountain ranges and peaks, and Lake Champlain. 
The pleasure-seeker in this locality may enjoy fine 
drives and rambles, fresh air and good fishing 
stations. 

SO>IE OF THE FINEST SCENERY IN A3IERICA. 

West Point, N. Y. The early history of the 
Union is intimately connected with this beautiful 
place on the west bank of the Hudson River, 02 
miles north of New York City. In the Revolution- 
ary War, the neighborhood bristled with forts 
built by Colonial troops. Above the river at an 
altitude of 600 feet may still be seen the ruins of 
Fort Putnam, and from that deserted fortress the 
tourist may view some of the finest scenery in 
America. The Government Military Academy and 
grounds, where so many great warriors have been 
educated, are finely located and ably maintained. 
Kosciusko's Monument is a prominent feature at 
this delightful resort.

NORTH CAROLINA 



A State in Which Was Made the First Settlement in the United States. A Region Where a Colony Was 
£stablished. Every Member of Which Disappeared and Was Never Heard of Afterwards. 



Ca 



X publication entitled "The Sketch Book of North 
irolina" is sent to us by the North Carolina Depart- 
ent of Agriculture and for the advantage of land 

seekers in "The Old North State" we quote freely 

from its pages. 

The first settlement in the New World was made 
in North Carolina. 

In 1584 Sir Walter Kaleigh sent out two boats 
to explore as much as possible of this continent 
and the first land sighted was on the coast of North 
Carolina, near Cape Fear. Aftw- beating along the 
coast about a week they ancliored in Ocracock In- 
let, near a beautiful island called by the Indians 
Wohokon. 

PRAYER AND THANKS. 

At midday on the 13th of July, 1.^84, after a 
prayer of thanks that the flag of England was about 
to iloat over broader realms, Captain Amadas took 
• possession of the land in these words: 

"We take possession of this island in the right 
of the Queen's most excellent majesty, as rightful 
Queen and Princess of the same, to be delivered 
over to the use of Sir Walter Raleigh, according 
to Her Majesty's grant and letters patent under 
Her Highness' great seal." 

The Indians gave tliem welcome and tried to 

make their stay comfortable. After acquiring as 
much information as possible the exptclition le- 
turn^d to Ergland, taking along as curiosities of 
the new land t'<vo Indians, potatoes and smoking 
tobacco. Queen Elizabeth was greatly pleased with 
the report of Raleigh's captains and named the land 
Virginia, in honor of herself, the "Virgin Queen." 

A COLONY SENT BY RALEIGH. 

Raleigh the next year sent out a colony of 108 
men to make a permanent settlement. These colon- 
ists landed on Roanoke Island, on the 26th of July, 
1585. There they built a few cabins, fortified them 
and called their new home the "City of Raleit,h." 
Becoming reduced in numbers and finding the In- 
dians hostile, this colony returned to England with 
one of the exploring expeditions sent out by Sir 
Francis Drake, who visited them with a large fleet. 
There the first English settlement in the new world 
was abandoned and the City of Raleigh left ten- 
antless. 

Not discouraged, Raleigh sent out another fleet 
containing 150 men, women and children. These 
colonists brought with them farm tools and came 
determined to make themselves a home in the now 
country. John White was the governor of this 
colony. 

Among these colonists was Eleanor Dare, daughter 
of Governor White. On the 18th of July, Mistress 
Dare gave birth to a daughter, the first English- 
speaking child born in America. In honor of the 
colony, this child was named Virginia Dare. After 
a stay on the island, Governor White felt impelled 
to return to England to get supplies for the col- 
onists, and to try to enlarge their numbers. Upon 
representations of White, unwearied Raleigh again 



loaded two ships to" take aid to the Roanoke col- 
onists. But for one reason or another, White was 
long delayed. When at last he reached Roanoke, 
not a sign of the colonists that he had left there 
could be seen. Three years had passed between 
his going and his coming, and on his return he 
found the City of Raleigh as overgrown and deso- 
late as it had been at his first visit. Upon a tree 
the single word "Croatan" had been rudely carved. 
Before White's sailing for England, he had directed 
the settlers to carve upon a tree the name of. any 
place that they might find it necessary to move to. 
No trace of the lost colonists was ever found, and 
White returned to England. It is said that Raleigh 
sent out at least five separate expeditions to search 
for the lost colony. With their disappearance, at- 
tempts at colonization of that part of the coast 
ceased. 

The attempts of Sir Walter Raleigh having sig- 
nally failed, no further attempts at colonization 
were made for three-quarters of a century. In 
162!), a charter was granted by Charles I of Eng- 
land to Sir Robert Heath of the Southern part of 
Virginia, latitudes 31 degrees to 36 degrees, under 
the name, in honor of that king, of Carolina. As 
Heath did nothing under it, a renewal was granted 
in 1663 to eight Lords Proprietors, and an en- 
largement to 36 degrees 30 seconds and 29 degrees, 
two years afterwards. The first permanent settle- 
ment in the limits of North Carolina was called 
the County of Albemarle. The Lords Proprietors 
appointed Governors of Albemarle, and then Gov- 
ernors, or Deputy Governors, of North Carolina until 
1728. Seven of them then sold their interests to the 
Crown, Lord Carteret, afterwards Earl Granville, 
yielding the right of government, but retaining his 
one-eighth interest in the land of all Carolina. In 
1744 he obtained a grant in severalty of about one- 
half of North Carolina, next to the Virginia line. 
The colony was therefore under the Crown from 
1728 to the Revolution. 

Its topography may be best conceived by picturing 
to the mind's eye the surface of the State as a 
vast declivit}', sloping down from the summits of the 
Smoky Mountains, .an altitude of nearly 7.000 feet, 
to the level of the Atlantic Ocean. The Smoky 
Mountains constitute a part of the great Appala- 
chian chain which here attains its greatest height; 
the greatest indeed, in the United States, east of 
the Rocky Mountains. This slope is made up of 
three wide extended terraces — if that term may 
be allowed; the first a high mountain plateau — 
distinguished as the Western or Mountain Section; 
tlie second, a submontane plateau, distinguished 
as the Middle Section or the Piedmont Plateau re- 
gion; the third, the Atlantic plain, distinguished as 
the Low Country or the Coastal Plain region, and 
that part from the head of the tides downward as 
the Tidewater section. From the first to the sec- 
ond section there is a sharp descent through a few 
miles only of not less than 1,500 feet; from the 
middle to the low country a descent of about 200 
feet; through the two latter, however, there is a 
constant downward grade. 

THE MOUNTAIN REGION. 

Broadly considered, the mountain section may be 
treated as a high plateau bounded on the east by 



150 



North Carolina Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



the in-egular chain known as the Blue Ridge, ex- 
tending across tlie State in a general direction from 
northeast to southwest, until, reaching the south- 
eastern border of Henderson County, it turns to the 
west and forms for a long distance part of the 
southern boundary of the State, passing at length 
by a southwest projection into the State of Georgia, 
and again reuniting with the chain of the Smoky 
Mountains, to which it had made near approach on 
Its entry into North Carolina in the counties of 
Ashe and Watauga. 

The average elevation of the Blue Ridge is nearly 
4,000 feet, though on the southern and northern 
extremities it drops to 3,000 feet; its lower gaps 
being a little above 2,000 feet over the main level 
of the Piedmont country. 

The western boundary of this division is that 
long chain known under the various names of the 
Iron, the Smoky, and the Unaka Mountains, and 
foi-ming the dividing line between North Carolina 
and Tennessee and enclosing with marked definite- 
ness the plateau of Western North Carolina. The 
area of this division approximates 6,000 square 
miles. The plateau is the culminating region of 
the Appalachian system, and contains not only its 
largest masses, but also its highest summits. The 
elevation of some of the peaks is as follows: 

Mitchell's Peak, 0,711; Clingman's Dome, 6,660; 
Mount Buckley, 6,599; Mount Love, 6,443. 

In all there are forty-three peaks of 6,000 feet 
and upwards. There are eighty-two mountains 
which in height exceed 5,000 feet, and an innumer- 
able number exceeds 4.000 feet. The general con- 
tour of all these mountains is gentle, the summits 
generally presenting smooth, rounded outlines. The 
mountains are covered with deep rich soil, and 
clothed with mas.sive forests to their tops. There 
is little hazard in saying that there is nowhere in 
any of the other States an equal area of land cov- 
ered with timber trees of such various kinds, and 
of such value. The walnut, tulip trees (poplars), 
and oaks attain a size that would hardly be credited 
by one who had not seen thein. The preservation 
of this magnificent forest is due to the fact that it 
has hitherto been inaccessible to transportation. 
Within the past few years much of it has been 
brought into connection with the markets of the 
world. One railroad line passes entirely through 
this section and another branching off at Asheville, 
and leading to the extreme southwest of the State, 
is now completed. Into the northwestern part of 
the State also a railroad has been completed and 
others projected. 

DIFFERENT SOn.S AT DIFFERENT' 

ELEVATIONS. 

On the various levels of this great State may 
be found a soil adapted to varied agricultural pro- 
ductions, and a delightful climate, as attested by 
the many pleasure and health resorts in the State. 

We urge those who would acquaint themselves 
with tlie possibilities in this State to address the 
Department of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. C., for the 
sketch book of the State. 

CONDENSED IMPORTANT FACTS. 

Altitude. Highest, Jit. Mitchell, in the Appala- 
chian range of inoimtains, extreme western part of 
the State, 6,711 feet. 

Climate. Average January temperature at Char- 
lotte, 51 degrees above. At Wilmington. 47. Aver- 
age July temperature at Charlotte, 79; at Wil- 
mington, 7.S. Warmest at Charlotte, 102; at Wil- 
mington, 103. Coldest at Charlotte, 5 degrees below 
zero; at Wilmington, 5 degrees above zero. Average

History. One of the thirteen original States to 
adopt the National Constitution and enter the 
Union, in 1789. Colonization and some dwellings 
erected on Roanoke Island in 1584-7, through col- 
onists sent out from England by Sir Walter Raleigh, 
but colony abandoned. (See account in general de- 
scription.) First pennanent settlement made at Al- 
bemarle, 1653. The Carolinas were made one prov- 
ince in 1665 by grant of charter by Charles IT. 
About 1700 the province divided into North and 
South Carolinas, and separate governments were 
organized, followed bv large immigration of Scotch 
and Scotch-Irish. From 1729 up to the Revolution 



North Carolina was ruled by successive governors 
appointed by the English king. 

LIVE STOCK, COTTON AND RICE. 

Three-fourths of the inhabitants of the state are 
engaged in agricultural pursuits, cotton and rice 
being staple products of the eastern part of the 
state, live stock, buckwheat and other north tem- 
perate zone products pertain to the mountain 
region. In one section or another of the state 
may be found every agrieultural prudurt grown 
betw-een the Great Lakes and the Gulf, except the 
orange. Indian corn occupies the largest acreage 
and this and the other cereals are common to all 
sections. Cotton is raised in two-thirds of the 
counties. It is the chief market crop of the eastern 
and of the southern half of the middle region. In 
the northern part of the state tobacco replaces cot- 
ton as a market crop. 

THE FISHING INTEREST. 

The fisheries of the eastern . rivers and sounds 
are large and profitable, and give employment to 
several thousand persons. There are about 3,000 
miles of railway in the state. There are 1,000 miles 
of waterway open to steamboat navigation, includ- 
ing rivers, bays, sounds and canals. 

THE MINING INTERESTS OF NORTH CAROLIN.V. 

Mining has long given occupation to a portion of 
the population. Gold was first discovered in 1819 
and between that date and 1S50 many gold and 
copper mines were opened in the middle and west- 
ern sections. In the last few years mining indus- 
tries have received a new impulse. Iron ores are 
mined on a considerable scale for export and sev- 
eral new gold and copper mines have been opened, 
and the amount of the various mining industries is 
increasing very notably. Mica, mining began se\'- 
eral years ago in the mountain region and has 
grown to a considerable importance, much the 
larger part of this material found in commerce be- 
ing produced here. 

FOREST TREES IN LARGE V.\RIETY. 

Native Forests. The whole area of the state was 
originally forest-covered and about two-thirds of 
it is yet in primitive condition. The great variety 
of soils together with the wide range of climate. 
gives rise to a remarkably rich and varied flora. 
The important trees are the oak, pine, maple, 
hickory, niagnolia and birch. Among the trees are 
many valuable and popular cabinet woods, such as 
walnut, holly, cherry, ash, cedar, birds-eye maple, 
sycamore, etc. These forests are ranidly increasing 
in value as those of the northern states disappear 
and as the demand for timber increases. 

THE LAND OF THE SKY. 

One of the most beautiful regions on the earth is 
Western North Carolina. In this delightful portion 
of the State are numerous elevated plateaus, nes- 
tling among mountains and running streams. On 
one of these charming uplands, 2.OO0 feet in eleva- 
tion above sea level, with the Blue Ridge Moun- 
tains in tha distance, are Mount Mitchell. Mount 
Guyot and Clingman's Dome. There are so many 
of these mountain elevations, which cause the 
beholder to look up, this region has been fittingly 
named the "Land of the Sky." 

It is here on one of these levels amid nature's 
diversified scenes, with mountain, plain, streams 
and beautiful southern trees, where the charming 
City of Ashevi'.le. North Carolina, is located. This 
is a town of 20.000 people, which has thrice that 
number in the tourist season of the year. 

It was natural that George W. Vanderbilt, who 
had traveled extensively and knew the beautiful 
regions of the earth, should buy 100.000 acres a 
short distance from Asheville, and here, with un- 
limited w-ealth at command, he h.ns laid out and 
developed "Biltmore," onif'-)of the most notable and 
attractive country estate^ in the world. With its 
costly residences, surrounded by broad lawns and 
luxuriant gardens, with its roads rivaling the most 
perfect boulevards, it represents an investment of 
over $6,000,000. 

"Asheville has acquired by reason of its wonder- 
ful climate and from the reputation of its superb 
hotels, a popularity and a progressive spirit quite 
beyond the usual limitations of towns of rnxich 
larger size. Its broad asphalted streets, plentifully 
shaded, its substantial public buildings and luxu- 
rious homes mark it a place of wonderful endow- 
ment and public spirit.

NORTH DAKOTA 



Faots About the Celebrated Red River of the North, Devil's Lake, the Many Mines of Lignite 

Coal and Other Features of Interest. 



Up in the northern part of the United States, 
directly south of the Canadian Dominion, and ex- 
tending from Minnesota on the East to Montana 
on the West, covering a distance of 360 miles, lies 
North Dakota, 

AN INLAND SE.4l. 

About midway in the State, from east to west, 
is a grassy upland which is supposed to have been 
the western shore line in some prehistoric time 
when the whole region hereabouts was covered with 
an inland sea, extending from Oklahoma up to 
Lake Winnipeg. In the very bottom of this im- 
mense lake was the Red River of the North and 
Lake Winnipeg. 

Through upheavals in the centuries of the past 
this lake was drained, leaving a few water basins 
remaining, like Devil's Lake in North Dakota and 
Lake Winnipeg in Canada, and a few streams flow- 
ing very slowly, among them being the Red River 
of the North and its tributaries. 

FERTILE SOIL OF THE RED RIVER REGION. 

Naturally with the draining of this great inland 
lake there was left in the bottom an exceedingly 
fertile soil which is a characteristic of the Eastern 
Dakota lands. 

The valley of the Red River of the North has a 



wide reputation because of its great crops of wheat. 
This valley, including the part located in Minne- 
sota, comprises a tract 250 miles long with a width 
of from 50 to 100 miles, and is alnaost a level plain, 
with a descent of from one to two feet to the mile, 
sloping to the north, in which direction the river 
runs. 

The first permanent white settlement in the ter- 
ritory occupied by the present State was made in 
17,S0 near Pembina, which locality at the present 
time, is a short distance south of the Canadian 
line on the Red River. 

EARLY SETTLEMENT OF NORTH DAKOT.\. 

In 1810 Lord Selkirk built a fort near Pembina, 
supposing the region to be on British soil. The 
Pembina settlement grew in population and. iso- 
lated from all outside civilization, was an honest 
rural community with distinctive peculiarities in 
dress and manners. 

When St. Paul, Minnesota, was established in 
],S41, and goods were brought up the Mississippi 
River for wholesale distribution to settlers In the 
northwest, it was one of the great curiosities to see 
the immense two-wheeled wooden ox-carts, which 
came down from Pembina with the Inhabitants of 
the region, who exchanged their furs and wheat 
for modern products to take back into the Pembina 
region.

Physical Advantages of North Dakota 



From N. Dak. Bulletin. 



The geographical location of North Dakota is 
favorable — to the north are the great Canadian 
Provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba — the north- 
ern state line of North Dakota forming part of 
the International Boundary I^ine between ourselves 
and our good friend and neighbor, Canada. Di- 
rectly south of North Dakota is her sister state — 
South Dakota — like most sisters their characters 
are entirel.v different. West — is Montana, the tirst 
of the Northwestern Rocky Mountain States. Minne- 
sota (Land of the sky-blue-water) lies due east. 
Surrounded by large prosperous commonwealths. 
North Dakota's condition and characteristics are 
not on all fours with her neighbors. North Dakota 
possesses many strong, well defined differences and 
advantages. 

NORTH DAKOTA'S SIZE. 

North Dakota is the fourteentli state in size, — 

the area in square miles is 70,79,j — including OUO 
square miles of water surface. In acres the land 
area amounts to 44,736,477 — if divided into farms 
of 160 acres tliis big: state would contain 379,602 
farms. North Dakota is about 25 per cent larger 
than Illinois (56,650 square miles), — Iowa (56,025 
square miles) — and nearly twice as large as In- 
diana (36,350 square miles). Michigan contains 
only 58,195 and Little Old New York, — once thought 
to be a huge commonwealth, — contains only 4i),170 
square miles. Compare this to North Dakota's 
70,795 square miles. North Dakota is rectangular 
In shape and is 360 miles wide (east and west), 210 
miles long (north and south). These figures give 
some idea of the tremendous stretch of the wide 
prairies of this vigorous young state. 

THE GENEBAr PHYSICAL FEATURES OF 
NORTH DAKOTA. 

North Dakota has no mountains, few hills, no 
forests and little broken land. The larger part of 
the surface of this big State is either flat or 
slightly rolling prairie. Hundreds of little lakes dot 
the country east of the Missouri River. Devils 
Lake, near the city of that name, is a very large 
lake. Several other good sized lakes are near by. 
Turtle Mountains are the highest hills and are about 
400 feet high. Other "Mountains" are as much as 
800 feet high. 

There are four great divisions of land in North 
Dakota. First — the land east of the outer rim of 
the plateaus of the Missouri River. Second — the 
land south and west of the Missouri River's 
plateaus. Third — the rough butte broken portion 
south and west of the Missouri River. Fourth — the 
renowned and fertile Red River Valley. 

LOCATION OF THE FAMOUS RED RIVER 
VALLEY. 

Starting at the eastern edge of the State next 
to Minnesota, you find the Red River and the 
broad, flat Red River Valley — which has an altitude 
of approximately 1,000 feet and averages 50 miles 
in width. Soil authorities say the soil in the Red 
River Valley is unexcelled in fertility — in the world. 
The Red River flows northward and forms the 
North Dakota-Minnesota state line. 

THE ROLLING PRAIRIES WEST OF THE RED 
RIVER VALLEY, 

The valley of the Red River is separated from 
the rest of the State by a series of high ridges, 
named the Manitoba Escarpment. West of these 
ridges the prairie is slightly rolling and slowly 
rises (about two and one-half feet a mile) until 
the edge of the Plateaus of the Missouri River are 
reached. Here the land rises about 300 feet in 40 
miles. Some of the land on this plateau is badly 
broken, but the greater part rises in long, rolling 
swells, studded with little hills, ridges and coulees. 
Much good bottom land is located on the flats of 
the Missouri, the Little Missouri and the Yellow- 
stone Rivers. On the east side of the Missouri 
River's plateaus and north of the Missouri River 
you find flat and slightly rolling prairies. 

WHY NORTH DAKOTA'S SOIL MAKES FARMERS 
RICH. 

That worn out phrase "rich black soil" no longer 
means anything. Pick up any newspaper or farm 
lournal and every farm offered for sale from Maine 
to California has a "rich black soil." What the 
man who makes his living direct from the land 
needs to know is whether it will produce paying 



crops and whether the climate above the land will 
allow him to live in health and comfort. Given 
these two vital conditions, he don't care a snap 
whether the color of the soil is gray, black or 
brown. What will it produce and why? — is what 
he wants to know. A short history of how Nature 
formed and favored North Dakota will quickly 
show why the land is fertile and pays good cash 
dividends. The color of the soil in this state hap- 
pens to be Mack — whether it is rich or not you can 
best judge by the evidence of actual farmers given 
herein. 

HOW MOUNTAINS OF ICE MADE THE LAND 
LEVEL. 

Nature once put North Dakota in cold storage. 

Then by using a huge ice plow and tremendous 
pressure" the high hills of old North Dakota were 
planed away. The broken valleys were filled up. 
The fiattened prairies of today are the result. 
Centuries ago, glaciers, miles high, and larger than 
those now in Glacier Park, Montana, or in Alaska, 
formed near the Arctic Circle. This was in the 
Ice Age. As it grew colder, more ice formed and 
hundreds of glaciers, forming a solid ice sheet 
started to move and grind their way to North 
Dakota. Near far off Labrador and the Arctic 
Circle were great ledges of limestone, cliffs of 
granite and large quartz deposits. These were 
picked up and dragged along. By the tiine this ice 
sheet reached North Dakota it was miles high. 
The pressure on the surface of the soil was hun- 
dreds of tons to the square yard. Soft rock, like 
limestone, was ground to powder by the pressure 
and the friction. The soil was harrowed and 
ground to powder and millions of tons of this 
pulverized limestone and other rock were mixed 
with it. 

WHERE THE ICE SHEET FORMED. 

The ice sheet reached a high ridge of land just 
this side (east) of the Missouri River. Before 
this ridge could be ground down — glaciers only 
move from a few inches to one or two feet a day — 
the Ice Age ended. It became warmer. The ice 
sheet melted. Large lakes were formed. Old river 
beds, like the Missouri's were overflooded. Grad- 
ually the lakes were drained by old and new rivers. 
Where these lakes had been the lake bottom was, 
of course, almost as flat as a floor. The valley 
of the Red River and the valley of the Mouse River 
are the two most striking examples, in North 
Dakota, of ancient lake bottoms. Elk River Valley 
in Traill, Steele and Grand Forks counties, the 
larger parts of Sargent and Dickey counties, are also 
old lake bottoms. 

Don't overlook the important fact that the Ice 
Sheet stopped in North Dakota because when the 
ice melted all the soil it was carrying was dropped. 
This is called by scientists, "glacial drift," and 
makes fertile soil. It is fertile because it has been 
ground as fine as wheat (sometimes as fine as 
flour) and well mixed with limestone and granite, 
etc. (limestone soils grow the most wheat), that 
is, it is not only mixed with mineral fertilizers, but 
is in good mechanical condition. Then the soil is 
deep. The Red River Valley was covered to an 
average depth of 300 feet. 

This left four different surfaces in the State: 
First. — level prairies, covered by the ice sheet, 
which became ancient lake bottoms when the ice 
melted. 

Second, — rolling prairies, dotted with numberless 
little lakes, and a few low, rounded hills. 

Third, — the plateau region west of the Missouri 
River, never covered by ice, owing its fertility to 
other sources, well drained by rivers, with no lakes 
and many moderately high, flat-topped hills. 

Fourth, — the wrongl.v named Bad Lands. As the 
Bad Lands are outside the Great Northern counties 
of North Dakota, space will not be taken to discuss 
them. 

There are no mountains in North Dakota. There 
are no forests. The high hills can be counted on 
your fingers. 

The greater part of North Dakota is flat or rolling 
prairie. The land is read.v for the plow. No stones 
hamper the farmer. No stumps cumber the ground. 
The soil is covered by a heavy growth of native 
grass on which that wild native beef, the buffalo — 
grew fat.

North Dakota Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



GREAT CHANGES AMONG THE PEOPLE. 

As the years have passed the Red River regions 
of the North have undergone great changes. Tlie 
Indians have sold their lands and gathered upon 
reservations; their children are educated in Indian 
seliools, and are up in the active walks of life 
among the whites. The old Pembina fort is no 
longer a necessity. The original Pembinians are 
largely scattered, and. excepting an occasional cart, 
which is preserved as a curiosity, very little re- 
mains of the original odditites of old Pembina. 

In the meantime, white settlers have taken up 
the lands in the Red River Valley, the first great 

larms being divided into smaller tracts, all of the 
new settlers being highly prosperous. 

The State as a whole is an Immense stretch of 
level and rolling prairie land and river valleys, with 
numerous small lakes. Even the Red River Valley 
is not yet thickly settled and land throughout the 
State can be had from $5 to $30 per acre. 

By application to the Secretary of State of North 
Dakota the remainder of the government land 
which is yet left in the State can be known. That 
wiiich now remains unappropriated is agricultural 
and grazing land. 

THICKNESS OF SOIL. 

The soil of Central Dakota is a black loam, vary- 
ing from two to three feet in thickness; it has a 
clay subsoil which retains the moisture of the win- 
ter and early spring in reserve for summer use, and 
its fertility throughout the entire State is remark- 
able. The Red River Valley has ample rainfall 
which gradually decreases toward the west, until 
tlie elevations in the middle of the State are 
reached, beyond which irrigation is required. From 
the Turtle and Pembina Mountains along the Ca- 
nadian boundary line towards the south, the descent 
is gradual to Dev'ils Lake, in Rarnsey County. 

THE CELEBRATED DEVILS LAKE. 

This lake, a picturesque sheet of water with no 
visible means of outlet, lias an elevation of 1,434 
feet above sea level. Its length is nearly 50 miles, 
and its greatest width is from 12 to 15 miles. On 
its north sliore is located the Dakota Chautauqua 
assembly grounds and on the south side of the lake 
is an Indian industrial school. 

While North Dakota is essentially a prairie State, 
the native timber covers some 460,000 acres dis- 
tributed mostly along the Red River of the North 
and on the border of various lakes. The govern- 
ment in various ways is rewarding settlers for the 
planting of trees, and thus large areas have been 
planted with rapidly growing trees, the effect of 
which will be to attract rainfall in the western part 
of the state and break the blizzard winds which 
are liable to prevail in the winter months. 

As a whole, the climate of this State Is remark- 
ably healthy. The atmosphere is dry and stimu- 
lating. The sunsliine is brilliant and the skies are 
generaly clear. 

The winters are sometimes severe, but as forests 
are planted and winter protection provided com- 
plaints of blizzards become less. The summers and 
autumns are peculiarly delightful. 

LARGE YIELDS OF SUPERIOR WHEAT. 

As may be expected, with a highly fertile soil in 
a prairie country, the crop yield is immense. The 
State is noted for its large .yield of A No. 1 wheat, 
while in other cereals, flax and all root crops, espe- 
cially potatoes, the yield is abundant. 

Next to agriculture the raising of live stock is 

attaining great importance and the breeding of tine 
grades of horses and cattle is occupying a great 
deal of attention. The estimated area of grazing 
lands is 40,000,000 acres. Naturall.v, closely allied 
to stock raising is the dairy business and this is 
coming considerably fast, as shown in the statistical 
returns relating to creameries and their products 
of butter and cheese. 

THE STATE WELL WATERED BY RIVERS. 

The State is quite well watered by rivers. The 
Missouri River enters in the nortliwest part at Fort 
Buford. runs southeastward and leaves the State 
in Emmons County, having traversed the region for 



300 miles and been fed by numerous rivers in the 
.state, among them being the Little Missouri, Knife, 
Heart and Cannon Ball Rivers. 

The entire country next the Missouri River is 
underlaid with lignite coal. In fact, a large share 
of the entire area of the State shows the out- 
cropping of lignite, which is excellent for heating 
and gas making. Many farmers have this coal on 
their farms and some fifty coal mines are opened 
in the State for commercial purposes. 

GREAT ABUNDANCE OF LIGNITE COAL. 

So abundant is this fuel as to cause the United 
States Government to investigate and consider the 
use of lignite in the steady production of power 
fo.- pumping and irrigating the arid lands in the 
western part of the State. 

A singular feature of Southwestern North Dakota 
are the so-called "Bad Lands," a region of the 
country following the Little Missouri River, cov- 
ering an area of about one hundred miles in length 
by twenty-five in width. This land, once a level 
plain, has been cut by the branches of the Little 
Missouri, and the action of fire from burning lignite 
coal seams, forming a labyrinth of gullies, buttes 
and figures of all sorts in which a person travel- 
ing among them may easily get lost. 

RAILROAD FACILITIES. 

Two great trunk lines of railway cross the State 
from east to west, the Great Northern and the 
Northern Pacific. East of Medora, where the North- 
ern Pacific crosses the Missouri River, the buttes 
are of blood red color. In places the petrified 
stumps and trunks of trees are brought to the sur- 
face and at a number of places coal veins are still 
burning beneath the surface of the ground, sending 
forth smoke through the fissures in the earth. Tliis 
is especially a grazing region. The whole country 
is covered with grass and is regarded as one of the 
best cattle districts in the West. A special merit 
of the "Bad Lands." according to one writer in 
describing the country, is that stock can be shel- 
tered in the ravines during the winter. 

For a highly fertile soil, abundant crops, rapidly 
bringing wealth to farmers, the land-seeker should 
not forget to carefully investigate the opportunities 
which offer in North Dakota.

OHIO 



The Mound Builders — The StniffgleB of Later Generations to Establish Conditions of Prosperity 

in the Wealthy State. 



Who the original land seekers were in all this 
portion of the continent is unknown. The earliest 
evidence of human intelligence among a people that 
occupied this land is seen in the earth mounds 
distributed in great number throughout the State. 
These people were evidently a religious, warlike 
race as shown in the relics found in their mounds, 
including stone altars, hatchets, hammers, arrows 
and ornaments of various kinds. 

LESS INTELLIGENT BUT MORE WARLIKE. 

The races that came afterwards were less intelli- 
gent and more warlike than their predecessors, as 
seen in the Indian tribes which the early explorers 
of America found roaming over the country. 

In fact it is difficult to go anywhere or find any 
particular place on the American Continent that 
has not been traversed before by human beings. 

THE FIRST INDIANS HERE. 

The principal Indian tribes of the Ohio country 
when discovered by the French, were the Miamis, 
the Wyandots, the Shawnees, the Senecas and the 
Delawares. 

The Iroquois, to whom the Senecas belonged, 
claimed to have subdued all the territory between 
the AUeghanies and the Mississippi, but the Ohio 
Indians repudiated their sway and had, it appears, 
regained the lands from which they had been 
driven. 

By a treaty signed at Utrecht, a city in a prov- 
ince of the same name in the Netherlands, by 
representatives from France, Holland, Great Britain, 
Prussia, Portugal and Savoy, Kng:1and obtained 
Gibraltar, Hudson Bay territories and Newfound- 



land. Through that concession England claimed 

the right to call the Iroquois her subjects and the 
English based their claim to the northwest territory 
on the pretended conquest of the Iroquois, as well 
as the charter of James I. to Virginia and of 
Charles II. to Connecticut. 

Assuming their right to possession English trad- 
ers had begun to compete with the French in the 
fur trade of the great lakes as early as 1684. 

THE FRENCH ALSO CLAIMED THIS TERRITORY 

The French based their claim to the same terri- 
tory on the discoveries of Joliet, Marquette and 
LaSalle, though in so far as the Ohio River is 
concerned there is no conclusive evidence that 
La Salle ever saw it. 

The little settlement made at Sandusky, Fort 
Cadillac built at Detroit in 1701, and the allegiance 
of most of the Indian tribes, between Lake Erie 
and the Ohio River, practically gave France the 
control of the debatable ground. 

From that period up to the war of the revolution 
it was a struggle between the French and the 
English to get the support of the Indians, and even 
up to 1799 fear of the Indians checked immigration 
into this region. In the meantime pioneers from 
Massachusetts had founded Marietta in 1788. An- 
other colony from New Jersey laid out the town 
of Losantiville in 1789, which name was soon 
changed to Cincinnati. 

In 1790 French emigrants founded Gallipolis, and 
in the same year the first colony from Virginia 
came in and established Massieville, now Man- 
chester.

PERMANENT PEACE WITH THE INDIANS. 

Instigated, it was claimed, by the British, the 
Indians continued to make trouble until a per- 
manent peace was made in 1795, two-thirds of the 
State at that time being ceded to the whites. 

FOUNDING OF THE WESTERN RESERVE. 

In 1702 500,000 acres in the western part of the 
Western Reserve, located in the northern part of 
Ohio, v/as set aside by Connecticut as compensation 
to those of her citizens whose property had been 
destroyed by the British during the revolution; 
and in 1792 the first setiiement at Cleveland was 
made. 

Fear of the Indians yet checked immigration into 
the state and not until 1799 did the population 
reach 5,000, the number necessary to the establish- 
ment of a legislature. 

On Sept. 23, 1799, the first legislature met at 
Cincinnati, and on the 25th chose William Henry 
Harrison as its delegate to Congress. In 1800 
Indiana territory was set off, and in 1S02 a consti- 
tutional convention, convened at Chillicothe, adopted 
a constitution, and in 1803 state officers were 
elected. Chillicothe and Zanesville being, at various 
periods, the capital of the state before it was 
permanently established at Columbus. 

In the war of 1812-15 the young state furnished 
three regiments to aid in carrying it on. In 1813 
General Harrison erected Fort Meigs on the Maumee 
and held it against two attacks of British and 
Indians tinder General Proctor. Major Croghan 
made a brilliant defense of a rude fort on the 
Sandusky, and Lieutenant, afterwards Commodore 
Perry, in Put-in-Bay, made his victory over the 
British fleet. 

FIRST STEA>IBOAT AND FIRST RAILROAD. 

In 1812 the first steamboat descended the Ohio 
River, and in 1825-33 the Ohio and Maumee canals 
were constructed, and in 1842 the first railroad be- 
tween Cincinnati and Springfield was opened. Free 
schools were established in 1826. and in 1842 the 
first regularly equipped public astronomical observa- 
tory in the United States was founded at Cincin- 
nati. Ohio gave 5,536 troops to the Mexican war. 
appropriated $1,000,000 for the defense of the Union 
in the Civil War, and sent 313,180 troops into the 
battlefield. The bounties paid to volunteer soldiers 
amounted to $23,557,373. 

About one-third the distance from the north to 
the southern part of the state is found the divid- 
ing ridge, north of which the streams flow to Lake 
Erie, and south of which the waters descend to the 
Ohio River. Lake Erie is 573 feet above the level 
of the sea, and yet so much below the dividing 
ridge, which extends from Trumbull County in the 
northeast part of the state to Mercer and Darke 
Counties in the southeast, that the Maumee, the 
Cuyahoga, the Black, the Sandusky, the Vermillion 
and the Huron rivers all emi)ty into this lake. 

The rivers flowing into the Ohio are the Mus- 
kingum, the Hocking, the Scioto and the Miamis. 
These rivers all run through highly fertile valle.vs, 
but it is not necessary to go to the valleys for 
rich land. The state is so nearly level, and has 
retained the fallen grasses so long upon its surface, 
as to produce a highly fertile soil, which like the 
other states of level surface make a wealthy popu- 
lation. 

RICH son. ONLY A PART OF OHIO'S AD- 
VANTAGE. 

But the productions of a rich soil are but a part 
of the immense resources of Ohio. From this 
state comes the well known Hocking coal, the coal 
area covers 10,000 square miles, limestone is quar- 
ried in 32 counties, and sandstone, from which 
come the celebrated Ohio grindstone, underlies one 
half of the entire area of the state. 

The whole of the southeast half of the state is 
underlaid with coal-bearing formations and the 
geological surveys show seven distinct veins of 
coal of superior quality for domestic use, or for 
making gas and smelting iron. The aggregate 
thicltness of the coal beds which are convenient 
to work upon is about 50 feet. 

One of the interesting features of the passage 
on the Ohio River is the view of coal mine openings 
seen for hundreds of miles, the tunnels running up 
the slopes from the river directly into the coal 
beds. 

Iron is found in abundance in certain parts of 
the state, particularly in Perry, Gallia, Licking, 



Lawrence, Jackson, Vinton, Meigs, Athens and Hock- 
ing counties. Some of the ore is of superior quality 
and adapted to the finer class of castings. Clay in 
all its forms is found in large quantities, carbonate 
of lime, quick lime, and water cement are very 
largely manufactured. 

Natural gas is found in several sections of the 
state. The lour oil districts yield nearly 20,000,000 
barrels per annum and give to the state some 
$17,000,000 annually. 

Ohio is noted for Its large variety of valuable 
agricultural production, including wool, flax, milk, 
butter and cheese, and for stock raising, especially 
m the southern part of the state, while the upper 
part of the state, in the lake region, is celebrated 
for Its grapes, there being thousands of acres in 
vineyards in that region. 

Ohio is distinguished for its large amount of 
cultivated land, the great crops including wheat, 
oats, potatoes, rye, buckwheat, hay and corn in 
immense quantities. Other products that deserve 
especial mention are maple sugar, honey, maple 
syrup and strawberries. 

The land seeker who desires to go into a manu- 
facturing state finds that region in Ohio. The pro- 
ductions include woodenware, agricultural imple- 
ments, steel, iron, optical and astronomical instru- 
ments, electric materials, electrical equipment of 
all kinds, refining of oils, safes, deposit vaults, time 
locks, cooperage, woodworking machinery, wagons, 
trucks, wheelbarrows, railroad cars, matches, win- 
dow glass, glassware, silks, cash registers, grist- 
mill products, clothing, furniture, distilled liquors, 
pressed brick, fire brick, paving brick, drain tile, 
sewer pipe, and many other varieties of manufac- 
tured products, the result of being in the immediate 
vicinity of the raw material from which all these 
goods can be made. 

Besides the facilities for transportation 436 miles 
on the Ohio River, 230 miles of water frontage on 
Lake Erie, 100 miles of navigation on the Mus- 
kingum River, there are four canals in the interior 
of the state.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES IN OHIO. 

Among' interesting relics of a people that once 
lived in the Mississippi Valley and in Ohio, were the 
Mound Builders. Who they were, whence they 
came and when they disappeared nobody knows. 

Among these vestiges of a past age are numer- 
ous mounds in Ohio. One of them, is on the banks 
of the Little Miami River in Ohio, at Fort Hill, has 
a line of circumvallation nearly four miles in extent, 
varying in height, according to the natural strength 
of the point "protected, from 10 to 20 feet, and 
embracing an area of several hundred feet. At 
Newark, Ohio, they cover an area of more than 
two miles square, and probably comprise upward of 
12 miles embankment from two to twenty feet in 
height. 

One of these, surveyed in 1846, on the banks 
of brush Creek, in Adams County, Ohio, is in the 
form of a serpent over 1,000 feet in length, extended 
in graceful curves and terminating in a triple coil 
at the tall. 

These mounds were evidently burial places, and to 
appease the gods various objects were deposited in 
the graves, evidences existing of religious cere- 
monies and altars being tound with the skeletons 
of those who had been buried. 

Evidently great difference of opinion existed as to 
suitable position for placing of the bodies of the 
dead. Sometimes the body was laid horizontally, 
sometimes bent double. Often a number of bodies 
were piled in a common grave. Frequently a mound 
covered a solitary skeleton, while in another the 
dead laid in large numbers. 

In manv districts incineration was the custom, 
and the ashes were collected and put in urns, some- 
times even in human skulls.

OKLAHOMA 

A young State celebrated a few years ago from the rush of people who camped on its borders to 
be in readiness to occupy its lands as soon as opened for settlement. 



Our readers will remember the excitement created 
a few years ago when territory forming a part of 
Oklahoma was opened to the public and those so 
fortunate as to possess a lucky ticket in a lottery 
drawing could go into the new land and take up a 
government claim on government land conditions. 

DID NOT KNOW OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. 

Those individuals who camped there for days wait- 
ing for permission to get onto the newly opened 
land, and those who struggled to get a farm on 
homestead terms there and did not succeed, evi- 
dently did not know that thousands of acres of 
irrigated fertile lands were waiting for their com- 
ing at many points outside of Oklahoma in the 
Great West. They did not know of the tens of 
thousands of fertile cheap lands in the Great South, 
where two or three crops a year can be grown on 
the same land. They did not know of the hun- 
dreds of cheap farms that are offered in New Eng- 
land — farms of 50, 100 and 200 acres, well located, 
that are offered at prices far below what the build- 
ings alone on these farms would cost. They did 
not know what opportunities existed for getting 
cheap lands on every hand, as shown in this "Guide 
for Land Seekers," and hence the struggle to get 
possession of Oklahoma lands. 

In this we are not saying one word against Okla- 
homa. On the contrary, investigation of the pos- 
sibilities and actualities of this region shows that 
the State is all that it was anticipated to be. But 
what we would empliasize right here is that after 
a scramble of that kind there always will be 
abundance of opportunities left. Let the land seeker 
bide liis time. In one or two years after farms 
have been taken and are improved large quantities 
of these lands will come into the market for sale. 
Deaths, removals and disappointments will work 
their changes and great numbers of these pioneers 
will be willing and anxious to "sell out" at a less 
price than even the improvements have cost. 

Oklahoma properties are perhaps an exception to 
that rule. The soil here has been found to be very 
fertile and adapted to the growth of a great variety 
of products, ranging all the way from apples to 
peanuts, from cotton to broom corn, from melons 
to strawberries. In fact, agriculture is proving so 
profitable as to make less anxiety to sell than is 
found in many states. Yet with prosperous condi- 
tions existing throughout the State, our review of 
different counties shows that farm lands can be 
obtained at very reasonable prices. 

GREATLY IN FAVOR OF OKLAHO^IA. 

First, greatly in behalf of Oklahoma is a very 
favorable climate. It is situated far enough south 
to escape the long winters of the north, and far 
enough north to escape the fevers and malaria of 
many southern sections. She is far enough north 
to escape the enervating effect of a fruitless climate 
without being far enough to necessitate expensive 
preparations for winter. While the snows of winter 
sometimes fall here they are but of short duration 
and seldom make extra care of stock necessary. 

ExTDerience of several years' settlement has proved 
that the greater portion of Oklahoma is well within 
the rain belt or safe crop region and that all east 
of Beacon County can be depended upon for wheat, 
oats, cotton, vegetables, alfalfa and the various for- 
age crops. Experience has proven that crops in 
Oklahoma are as certain and more profitable and 
prolific than in many of the older sections of the 
country. Storms are no more common here than in 
other central states, while periods of great drouth 
are much more disastrous in the valley of the 
Mississippi than on the prairies of this State. 



OILLAHOaiA FOR HEALTH. 

As for healthfulness it would be hard to find a 
better climate than that of Oklahoma. The eleva- 
tion is great enough to preclude the fevers and 
malarias of the lowlands, while the purity of the 
atmosphere insures strong lungs and healthy cir- 
culation. The breezes of the prairie disperse the 
microbes of disease and keep the air healthful and 
invigorating, while tlie sunsliine plays an important 
part. As the elevation is more or less associated 
and connected with the climate it is well to give the 
elevation or altitude of some of the leading points 
in the territory. Thus the altitude of Oklahoma 
City is 1,200 feet above sea level; Chandler, 900; 
Guthrie, 932; Lawton, 1,250; Enid, 1,244; Hobart, 
1,.'52S; Shawnee, 1,04.5; Arapaho, 1,560; Perry, 871, 
and Wichita Mountains, 3,000. 

Oklahoma has a variety of soils, but it all appears 
to be productive. In some localities the deep 
black loam prevails, while in others the color is a 
rich brown or reddish hue. In some places there 
is a considerable proportion of sand and in others 
a gumbo formation like some of the rich lands of 
Illinois. The bottom lands are more generally black 
and on the uplands the red or mulatto soil prevails. 

Tlie red soil of the uplands is excellent for wheat 
and other small grains and grasses, but not so good 
for corn as the black land. However, with all the 
varieties of soil they are all good and there is but 
a small portion of the State that is not smooth 
enough and productive enough for profitable culti- 
vation. 

VARIED ENOUGH TO SUIT ANY TASTE. 

The surface of the country is sufficiently diversi- 
fied to suit all tastes. The whole area gently 
slopes toward the east, in which direction the 
streams generally run. While several large rivers 
cross the territory, these are fed by numerous 
brooks and small affluents which give every section 
an abundance of running water. Springs abound in 
some regions and well water can be obtained by 
digging to a moderate depth. 

While a very large per cent of Oklahoma is a 
level or gently rolling prairie country, there are 
also some large areas of timber and here and there 
a range of hills. Much of the eastern portion of 
the State is covered with a fair growth of timber, 
while the central and western portions are more 
generally prairie. As a rule, the river banks are 
not bordered with bluffs, as in some States, and 
the land is tillable to the edge of the streams. In 
the western portion some of the streams are bor- 
dered by sand hills that look as though they may 
have been beds of streams in times past. A few 
rocky hills may be found but they are scarce. 
In the southwestern part of the State are found 
the Wichita Mountains, an irregular range of 
rugged hills, extending from east to west about 
sixty miles, and about half that from north to 
south. In that vicinity, but detached from the 
range, there are numerous isolated, rugged hills, 
on the otherwise level prairie, adding to the pic- 
turesqueness of the scene. Portions of the Wichita 
range reach a height of 2,000 feet above the level 
of the surrounding country. They are probably a 
detached spur of the Rocky Mountains. In this 
mountain range there are many beautiful valleys, 
natural parks, sparkling streams and flowing springs. 

MUCH HEAVY TEMBER. 

While mainly a prairie country, there are cer- 
tain portions of the State heavily timbered, prin- 
cipally with hardwoods. In a few years the rapidly 
growing trees in cultivated groves will solve the fuel 
problem on the prairie farms, where hedges and 
windbreaks are found on every hand.

Oklahoma Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



OKLAHOMA A YOUNG STATE. 

We must remember that Oklahoma is young yet, 
but enough has been discovered to show that it is 
rich in undeveloped resources in the form of min- 
erals, stone, gas, oil and salt. Here is asphalt 
needed for streets, but it takes capital and labor 
to prepare it for market. Cement is in demand 
all over the country, and the raw material is here in 
abundance. Vast deposits of petroleum are waiting 
for the refiner to prepare it for everyday use. 
Thousands of bales of cotton are annually shipped 
from the State to be made into fabrics which should 
be made here. 

But space is too limited to tell what should and 
may he done here. People have been so busy in 
m-iking money from the staple crops that they have 
not had time to look beneath the soil, to develop 
oiher enterprises which in time will be found 
sources of great profit. 

We regret that lack of space prevents our pres- 
entation more fully of Oklahoma's agricultural con- 
ditions and manufacturing possibilities, and content 
ourselves with brief mention of some of the counties. 

ATTRACTIONS OF VARIOUS COUNTIES. 

Pottowatomie County is becoming noted as a 
ootton raising section, while wheat and corn flourish 
with equal success. The peacli takes naturally to 
the soil and climate here, though apples and straw- 
berries are grown with great success. Shawnee, one 
of the young cities in this county which had a 
population of 3(Kt in 1895, and 3,462 in 1000, re- 
ported 17,300 inhabitants in lUOiS, with three daily 
and five weekly papers, and that over 400 business 
houses and residences were constructed in the single 
twelve months of 1903. Of agricultural productions 
nearly 1,000 carloads of potatoes, which ripen very- 
early in this section, were shipped out of the 
county during May and June, 1904, the prices 
ranging from 60 to 70 cents per bushel on the 
ground. 

WHAT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. 

Woods County in the northwestern part of the 
territory is another sample county, having, besides 
a fertile soil, plenty of timber, with salt, gypsum, 
coal and fine building stone, found in the county, 
but none of them yet extensively developed. 

Recent transfers here show the selling price of 
farm lands to range from $2 to $4 per acre. 

Grant County lands lying in the middle of the 
northern part of Oklahoma are selling at prices 
varying from .$15 to $37.50 per acre. The farmers 
in this section give their attention to wheat, corn, 
castor beans and cattle. 

The raising of cattle and hogs has proved profit- 
able. The winter wheat fields are used for pastur- 
ing and curiously to the seeming betterment of the 
wheat. The chief manufacturing industry in the 
county is the making of flour. There are large salt 
plains here capable of profitable development. 

Farm lands in other counties are selling at fol- 
lowing prices: 

Garfield County, from $13 to $33.75 per acre. 
Average price, $23 per acre. 

Noble County, $2.50 per acre up. 

Blaine County, prices range firm, $6.25 to $28. 
Average price of farm lands, $11.74. 

Kingfisher Count.v, average $18.61 per acre. 

I.,ogan County, $25 to $42.75 per acre. 

Caddo County, $10 to $53. Average, $20.70 an acre. 

Kiowa County, $6..50 to $25.70. Average $15.31. 

Greer County, $6 to $30. Average, $12. 

Comanche County, $7.75 to $23.50. Average $13.95. 

Beaver County, $2.18 to $2.s.l2. Average. $0.21. 

Roger Mills County, $4 up. Average, $11.11. 

The average annual rainfall determines prices a 
little; thus, the rainfall in Beaver Co. is 22 inches, 
in Pottawatomie Co. it is 32.98, in Woods Co. 27.40 
inches, Garfield Co. 29.46 inches, Noble Co. 32.45 
inches, Blaine Co. 28 inches. Kingfisher Co. 30 
inches, etc., etc. 

The average annual temperature varies slightly 
from 60.1 in Pottawatomie Co. to 56.2 in Beaver 
Co. Extremes of temperature we give elsewhere.

by U. S. in 1886. Thrown open to settlement in 
18S9, at which time, at the signal of a pistol shot 
tens of thousands of people who had camped for 
days on the borders of this new land rushed into 
file claims on the new government land. Organized 
as a territory in 1890. No Man's Land, including 
Beaver County, added in 1890. The counties of 
Blaine, Day, Dewey, Washita, Custer and western 
portions of Canadian and Kingfisher Counties added 
in 1892. The Cherokee Strip, including the coun- 
ties of Kay, Grant, Woods, Garfield, Woodward, 
Noble and Pawnee, opened to the public by another 
rush 1893. Greer County, taken from Texas and 
added to Oklahoma by a decree of the Supreme 
Court 1896. The Kiowa, Comanche, .Apache ami 
Wichita Indian reservations opened to white settle- 
ment by a lottery drawing in which 176.000 persons 
participated in 1901. Another large area to be 
opened to white settlement is the Osage reserva- 
tion in the northwestern corner of the territory. 

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS REL.4TING TO 
OKL.4HOMA 

Taxes in Oklahoma are not high, and are de- 
creasing. 

In its clay beds Oklahoma has one of its most 
valuable resources. 

As a region adapted to successful fruit growing 
Oklahoma offers attractions peculiarly its own. 

Still another special line of industry with the 
brightest of prospects for the settler in Oklahoma 
is poultry raising. 

The flouring-mill industry of Oklahoma has al- 
ready attained sufficient proportions to give it rank 
as an important factor. 

Angora goats thrive in Oklahoma, and the raising 
of them will undoubtedly become a settled industry. 

Inexhaustible deposits of gypsum, from which 
plaster, cement, and fertilizers are manufactured 
are widely scattered throughout the Territory. 

Wild plums grow in greater profusion and variety 
in Oklahoma than anywhere else in the Union, and 
the cultivated varieties also succeed. Plum growing 
is an industry capable of great development. Cher- 
ries are profitably grown for shipment. 

The corn crops in the eastern and southern halves 
of Oklahoma have been a success from the start. 
In Canadian county ears of corn 14 inches in 
length and 10 inches in circumference were plucked 
at a height of eight feet from the ground. 

There are still vast tracts of public land in 
Oklahoma — subject to homestead entry, which offer 
golden opportunities to the settler. The largest 
areas yet vacant are in the northwestern portion 
of the Territory — in particular Beaver county. 

Sweet potatoes are excellently adapted to suc- 
cessful cultivation in the sandstone soils of eastern 
Oklahoma when these are cleared of timber. 

The rainfall of Oklahoma, averaging annually 
about 31 inches, is not only adequate, but plentiful 
for the successful production of all crops. 

Oil and natural gas were discovered in 1900 at 
the western end of the Wichita mountain range, 
and since that in several other locations. 

There is no more favored region than Oklahoma 
in the world for the raising of durum (hardi 
wheat, more commonly known as "macaroni" wheat. 

In 1904, according to the Governor's report, there 
were 2.095,427 acres of vacant land in Oklahoma. 
of which 1,838,030 acres were located in Beaver 
county. 

In every county in Oklahoma sheep raising Is car- 
ried on more or less extensively. More than one- 
third of the total number of sheep in the Terri- 
tory, however, are found in Beaver county. 

In the granite fields of Greer county, at the 
town of Granite, there are exposed above grouml 
beds of the very best quality of red granite suffi- 
cient to supply the world for years to come. 

The cotton-growing industry is largely confined 
to the counties of the central and southeastern 
parts of the Territory: it is also being grown with 
success in the southwestern counties. 

Since 1900 the output of the flour mills of Okla- 
homa has been enormous. Oklahoma flour is ship- 
ped to Canada on the north and the Gulf States 
on the south, and vast quantities are exported 
ovei-sea.

OREGON 

A Paciflc Coast State — A Superior Fruit Region With Mild Climate 



In a study of Oregon we are convinced that there 
are several reasons why land-seekers should in- 
vestigate the opportunities offered for prosperous 
settlement in that state. First, it is a large state 
with such variety of soil, climate and opportunity 
for various enterprises as to suit almost any par- 
ticular taste. If wanting to engage in stoek raising 
there are lands admirably adapted to that; if apple 
culture is intended, or wheat, or hops, raising 
sugar beets, or canning salmon; if the lumbering 
business is desired, cultivating of oysters, mining, 
growing strawberries or conducting a poultry farm. 
the climate, soil, markets and facilities are all 
here which conduce to success in any one of these 
or other enterprises. 

TWO DISTINCT PARTS OF THE ST.4TE. 

The state is divided into two distinct parts by 
the Cascade Range of mountains which extends a 
distance of 375 miles, from north to soutli, through 
the state. These mountains begin at the Columbia 
river, in the west part of Wasco county, and con- 
tinue to Klamath county. 

This brings Benton, Clakamas, Clatsop. Columbia, 
Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, 
Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multomah, Polk, Tillamook, 
Washington and Yamhill — 18 counties — into another 
region, another soil, and another climate by itself, 
where the rainfall in Washington county at Port- 
land is 47 inches a year, while it is but 10 inches 
a year at Pendleton in Umatilla county, and while 
it is 6S inches at Astoria in Clatsop county, the 
precipitation east of the Cascade Range is froni 12 
to 20 inches. 

The Oregon region west of the Cascade Range is 
naturall.v divided into three parts — three great val- 
leys fed by three rivers, the Willamette, the Ump- 
qua and the Rogue. 

SIZE OF SOaiE OF THE V.^LLEYS. 

The Willamette valley extends north and south 
between the Cascade Mountains and the Coast range 
for a distance of 130 miles, having a width of 
flft.v miles and a general area of 7,800 square miles. 
It contains nearly one-half the population and 
wealth of the state. The Willamette river, which 
flows through this valley, is one of the chief tribu- 
taries of the Columbia west of the Cascades. It is 
250 miles long, flows northward, is navigable for 
large ships to Portland and during two-thirds of 
the year small steamboals ascend to Eugene in 
Lane county. 150 miles from its mouth. The falls 
at Oregon City, in Blackamas county, which afford 
excellent water power, I'^ave locks for the use of 
these boats. 



IMPORTANT RIVERS IN OREGON. 

The Umpqua river rises in the Cascade Moun- 
tains, in Douglas county, in two branches, and 
flows westward to the sea, between two ranges of 
mountains, bordered by a valley about 200 miles 
long of rich soil, which produces large crops. The 
Rogue river also has its source in the Cascade 
Mountams and flowing westward, through Jackson, 
Josephine and Curry counties, empties into the 
Paciflc, its length being about 120 miles. While 
smaller than the others the Rogue valley is very 
rich agriculturally. 

WHY OREGON CLEtfATE IS ^ 3IILD. 

The climate is generally very mild, due to the 
same causes which affect the other Paciflc states. 
The winds for three-fourths of the year blow from 
the southwest, or off the warm body of the Pacific 
Ocean, and the Kuroshiwo, or Japanese warm cur- 
rent, which strikes the coast and influences the 
temperature far into the interior. This Asiatic 
stream of tropical water is of considerable magni- 
tude, being 400 miles in width, and has a velocity 
of about four miles per hour. It has the same 
effects as the gulf stream of the Atlantic. The 
north line of Oregon is of the same latitude as 
central Maine, and yet west of the Cascade Moun- . 
tains flowers bloom out of doors all winter. The 
Cascade Range makes a wide difference in the 
temperature of the east and west sections. The 
range of the thermometer at Portland, near the 
coast, is from 22 degrees to 96 degrees, while at 
Baiter City, in the extreme eastern part of the 
state, the range is from 14 degrees below to 101 de- 
grees above; the average temperature for the state, 
however, is 50 degrees. There are few, if an.v, sec- 
tions of the state in which cattle or sheep require 
shelter and extra feeding during the winter months. 
The bunch grass of the plains cures itself into hay 
on the giound. 

The seasons in the west section are divided into 
the wet and the dry, rather than the winter and 
the summer seasons. The wet season extends from 
November l."> to March 1.", during the greater part 
of which time rain falls copiously. On the imme- 
diate coast the precipitation varies from TO.t Indus, 
at Gold Beach, in the extreme southwestern part nf 
the state, to 81.96 at Fort Stevens, at the mouth of 
the Columbia; from fifty-five to sixty-si.x inches at 
different points in the Willamette Valley; in eastern 
Oregon from 75.73 inches, at the Cascade locks, in 
the gorge of the Columbia, to 9. SI inches at Uma- 
tilla; and from fourteen to seventeen inches in the 
highlands of Lake County, adjoining the CaliforniM 
line.

OREGON 



Oregon's Natural Advantages, Healthful Climate and Free Land — A Chance for the City Man to Get 

Back to the Land. Fruit Growing, Wlieat and General Farming, Stock Raising, Bee Culture, 

Poultry Raising, Dairying, Lumbering, Fishing, Mining. Irrigation and "Dry Farming." 



From a railroad bulletin we condense the following: 

Ever since Lewis and Clark made their famous 
expedition to the great Northwest — over one hun- 
dred years ago — thereby adding territory to our do- 
minions, Oregon has had a magnetic fascination for 
the conservative Easterner. Rich in opportunity for 
the farmer, the stockman, the fruit-grower, the mer- 
chant and the business man; blessed with fertile 
plains and forested hills filled with precious metals; 
resplendent in natural scenery which makes it at- 
tractive to the tourist and sightseer, Oregon today 
offers far m.ore and better opportunities in the twen- 
tieth century than in the days of old when the only 
way to reach her fertile fields was by months of 
tedious travel in the picturesque praiiie schooner. 

The history of Oregon has been one of endeavor 
and achievement — the result of the work of her 
broad-gauged, public-spirited citizens who, through 
their co-operative efforts, have made Oregon known 
the world over. 

Torn into two dissimilar parts by physical barriers 
prior to 1909, the state of Oregon today stands 
united and presents the golden face of opportunity 
to the landless man east of the Rocky Mountains. 
Blood may be thicker than water, but there is no tie 
so strong as the steel ribbons of modern transporta- 
tion which unite vast empires and bring widely- 
separated people and their products together. Cen- 
tral or Eastern Oregon, by stage or ox-cart, was 
formerly a wearisome seven days' journey from 
Portland, a longer distance in actual time and con- 
venience than from Chicago to Portland and return 
by train. Central Oregon had no railroads. 

LAND ENOUGH FOR A NEW STATE. 

Not so long ago the people of South Central Ore- 
gon talked of forming a new state with the people 
of the northern portion of California, largely because 
of the lack of modern transportation facilities. They 
were isolated from the rest of Oregon by jagged 
mountain ranges and swift rivers. Their neighbor, 
California, seemed nearer, as climate and crop con- 
ditions were similar. 

COMING OF THE OREGON TRUNK RAILWAY. 

That was yesterday. The new state idea, with 
yesterday, has passed away. Today, the Oregon 
Trunk Railway, a modern broad-gauge line, has been 
rapidly built from Clark, Washington, across the Co- 
lumbia River and up the Deschutes Valley through 
the very heart of Central Oregon, and is extending 
its tracks every hour. The Oregon Trunk Railway 
(through the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Rail- 
way, one of the affiliated connections of the Great 
Northern Railway) is now connecting Central Ore- 
gon with Portland and the world's markets. Central 
Oregon will be but seven hours from Portland in- 
stead of seven days. 

The seemingly impassable barrier formed by the 
Cascades and other high neighboring mountain 
ranges has been overcome. Central Oregon — the 
newer, larger portion of the state — is now knit fast 
forever to Pacific Coast Oregon — the older and better 
settled part— with Portland and Astoria as ocean 
ports. 

The world's markets are waiting eagerly for Cen- 
tral Ore.gon's wheat and grain. Western Oregon's 
fruits are widely known, and have made the word 
Oregon standard for high quality throughout the 
world. Today — and this is the twentieth century, 
when even the United States is getting overcrowded 
and old — Western Oregon has only been cultivated 
intensively in spots. Southwestern Oregon is just 
coming into its own. Northwestern Oregon's dairy 
products will astonish the country. 

Not only has Central Oregon — a territory larger 
than the state of New York — been opened to the 
land-hungry world, but whole counties in North- 
western Oregon, like Tillamook, are having electric 
lines run to and through them, hooking them up 
with larger commercial centers. All through Oregon 
new lines of standard steam and electric transpor- 
tation a.re being built. 

OREGON NEEDS YOU. 

Oregon offers an honest opportunity to the sincere 
man, and is a good place to live. No nian need ever 



move out of Oregon to go to a better place. The 
climatic, agricultural, educational, religious, social 
and business advantages are too abundant. 

Throughout, Oregon is an attractive country. It 
has over three hundred miles of coast line on the 
Pacific Ocean, and mountains, rivers and waterfalls, 
which add charm to the landscape and also furnish 
power for industries. 

Business in Oregon is built on the natural re- 
sources and productive ability of the country; not on 
speculation. Any legitimate business in Oregon is 
good, but the business of agriculture is perhaps the 
best business for a man of ordinary means. Agri- 
culture is the basis of all wealth. A man might 
perhaps get along without clothes — but he must eat. 

Oregon's soil produces good things to eat — so good, 
that the world pays top prices for the privilege of 
eating them. Oregon's forests produce timber for 
houses, factories and ships. Oregon's soil produces 
grain and forage crops and grasses, which feed thou- 
sands of sheep and cattle. Horses, especially blooded, 
heavy-draft horses, are raised profitably. 

Hog raising will line the farmers' pockets. Dairy- 
ing, poultry raising and bee culture are in their in- 
fancy. Oregon makes no pretense of being able to 
raise everything under the sun on the same acre, 
but enough of five or ten different crops can be 
raised on one farm to make the business of farming 
well worth while. Excepting the most favored fruit 
soils where, of course, the orchard is the main thing 
and the land too valuable, stock raising or dairying, 
and generally both, can be profitably undertaken on 
almost any arable land in Oregon. Oregon's future 
is bright indeed. 

OREGON'S LOCATION AND LAND AREA. 

By states. Washington forms the northern border, 
California and Nevada the southern, and Idaho the 
eastern border. The Pacific Ocean is the western 
boundary. Originally, Oregon's territory embraced 
what are now four large states; Washington, the 
lower part of British Columbia, Idaho, and the 
present state of Oregon. 

FREE GOVERNMENT LANDS. 

Oregon state is the seventh in size in the Union, 
having an area in square miles of 94,560; has an 
average width east and west of 360 miles, and an 
average length north and south of 260 miles, with a 
land area of practically 62,000,000 acres. Of this 
area, 17,580,573 acres is free government land, and 
500,000 acres is state school land. 

All the 320-acre free homesteads, and most of the 
160-acre free homesteads, are located in Central and 
Southeastern Oregon, and are chiefly in the counties 
of Crook, Klamath, Lake and Harney. In round 
numbers the acreage of the 320-acre units not filed 
on June 20, 1910, in Central Oregon, was 11.000,000, 
but, of course, new entries are being made every 
day. Of the total amount of 17,580,573 acres, 13,463,- 
734 are surveyed, but the unsurveyed land can be 
had by locating and settlement and complying with 
the simple conditions demanded by the United States 
Government after the land is surveyed. Of these 
17,580,573 acres, however, about 11,600,000 are agri- 
cultural and grazing lands; the rest are timbered, , 
mountainous or desert land requiring irrigation. 

When a man talks glibly of a million acres of 
land, even if it is all arable, stop and figure it out. 
It won't last forever. One inillion acres, divided 
into 320-acre sections, makes 3,125 farms, or 6,250 
farms of 160 acres each. These Central Oregon 
homestead lands will raise tremendous crops of 
wheat, grains, alfalfa, grasses and hardy root crops. 
They are not by any means all goneT but they are 
going fast, and once they pass into private owner- 
ship, there is no more free land with which to re- 
place them. 

STATE SCHOOL LAND. 

There are approximately 500.000 acres of state 
school land in Oregon; most of it is located in 
Central Oregon. This land may be purchased by any 
citizen of the United States over eighteen years of 
age for not less than .$7.50 an acre, on time. Not 
more than 320 acres can be purchased by any one 
person, but the land need not be all together. There 
is good state land not far from the Oregon Trunk 
Railway.

Oregon Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



In the extent of its agricultural, mineral and for- 
est resources, Oregon ranks very high, yet its pos- 
sibilities for development iiave been only partially 
realized. The state is largely devoted to agriculture, 
the western part of the state, especially the Willa- 
mette, Umpqua and Rogue River valleys, having the 
highest cultivated farming lands. On the other 
hand, eastern Oregon, which has a very fertile vol- 
canic soil, extensive areas of which, in the north- 
eastern part of the state, are devoted to the raising 
of the cereals, mostly wheat, without irrigation, 
and where the land is too arid for the raising of 
crops without irrigation, is devoted to stack grazing. 

VEGETABLE AND CEREAL CROPS. 

The principal farm crops are wheat, hay and 
forage, oats and potatoes, cereals assorted and green 
fruits. Wheat in 1000 brought in Oregon 54 cents a 
bushel, hay and forage about $5.50 per ton, oats 
about 31 cents a bushel and potatoes 32 cents a 
bushel. In 1902 wheat brought 52 cents a bushel, 
and thus prices are liable to tiuctuate, but the abso- 
lute certainty of large crops and their average prices 
relieves the farmer of anxiety in western Oregon, 
while in the eastern part of the state, even without 
the heavy rainfall, farmers are getting better re- 
turns from their lands by l^nowing how to cultivate 
the soil. Added to this the government and pri- 
vate companies are arranging to bring to the farms 
a sufficient water supply. Already the total irri- 
gated area, as far back as 1000, in the state was 
3SS.310 acres, and government surveys have been 
made for irrigating 60,000 acres in Umatilla county 
and 90.000 acres in Malheur county. 

The mineral resources of the state comprise all 
the different metals, the value of the output in 
one of the recent average years being, gold, $1,640,- 
700; silver (coinage value), $140,204; coal, $220,000; 
borax, $100,000; and stone, $21,603. The value of 
gold output was increased in the next year to 
$6,740,000. There are several mining districts in 
the Cascades, in southern and western Oregon, but 
the richest mineral belts seem to be the three min- 
eral zones of eastern Oregon, which are perhaps as 
large as any on the American continent. One of 
these lies partly within the state of Idaho ana 
fringes the eastern boundary of Union. Baker and 
Malheur counties, and is from ten to twenty miles 
in width. Another zone begins at the Eagle Moun- 
tains, northeast of Baker City, is about fifteen miles 
in width, and extends in a southwesterly direction 
a distance of about sixty-five miles. The third zone 
has the same general direction, begins in the Elk- 
horn Mountains, is about twenty miles wide, and 
extends a distance of 100 miles. The principal dis- 
tricts in eastern Oregon are in these zones, tribu- 
tary to Baker City and Sumpter. 

THE TIMBER REGIONS. 

The great natural resource of Oregon is its timber, 
which is located largely on the west side of the 
Cascade Mountains, where the rainfall is the great- 
est and the climate mild. The manufacture of this 
timber into lumber leads all other industries in the 
value of its output, which in 1000 amounted to $10,- 
352.167. Large tracts of timber stand in the Rogue 
river and Umpqua valleys, and along the Coast 
range and the Cascades to the Columbia river, as 
well as a fine body on the east side of the Cascades, 
at the head of the Des Chutes river, and several 
other points on the eastern slope of the Cascades, 
and in the Blue Mountains in the northeastern part. 
The estimated standing timber is 225.000,000,000 
feet, of which 150.000.000.000 consists of fir. The 
damage by Are, the indiscriminate waste, and the 
need of reservoir sites, has induced the government 
to set aside forest reserves, and 4,500,000 acres 
along the higher Cascades now constitute the re- 
serves for this state. 

From our general description of states the I'eader 
will see where government land is yet open for 
homesteading, but for persons interested in Oregon 
it is well to get the best and latest railroad maps 
of the state and then go through to central points 
and investigate. Examination will show that the 
interior of the state is yet without much railroad 
transportation, and with new" lines established the 
lands in those sections must rapidl.v increase in 
value. This may be Judged from the fact that in 
Baker county farm land is worth from $20 to .?40 
an acre, in Vernon county from .fSO to .'^40 per acre, 
in Wallowa county from ,$8 to $10 per acre. 

DIFFERENT PRICES OF LAND. 

In Umatilla county improved land brings from 
$10 to $40 per acre "and stock range land .$1 to .$5 
per acre. Wheat land in Morrow county ranges 
from $6 to $15 per acre, while in Linn county, in 
the Willamette valley, improver! prairie can be had 
for $30 an acre and in the foothills at $5. 



Land seekers should look up the probable opening 

up of new seaports on the Oregon coast, such as 
Coos Bay and other points in that state facing on 
the Pacific ocean. 

RAILROADS WHICH SERVE CENTRAL OREGON. 

The Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway, pop- 
ularly known as the North Bank Road, was built 
from Portland to Spokane and completed in 1000. 
The North Bank Road not only connects with the 
Oregon Trunk Railway (Central Oregon's latest 
agent of development), but also furnishes the Great 
Northern Railway with a short line from Spokane 
to Portland. 

Portland and Astoria are the two important ocean 
ports of Oregon. Astoria is at the mouth of the 
Columbia, at the ocean's edge, and is connected by 
Walter grade with Central Oregon via the Astoria 
and Columbia River Railroad; the North Bank Road 
(S. P. & S. Ry.) and the Oregon Trunk Railway. 
These three railroads, in connection with the Great 
Northern Railway, will give Central Oregon not only 
local and interstate transportation, but transconti- 
nental and international connections, both rail and 
ocean. These roads are all broad-gauge, standard 
railroads. 

Through merchandise package cars are run from 
Portland and other commercial centers to St. Paul, 
Minneapolis, Chicago, and other large cities in the 
East. 

In the Pacific Northwest special fast fruit trains 
have been run from fruit-growing sections direct to 
Eastern markets, and the Great Northern Railway 
endeavors to help the farmer and fruit-grower mar- 
ket their products to the best advantage by furnish- 
ing them such transportation facilities as the growth 
and development of the community warrant. 

No state, happy in a fine climate and a fertile 
soil, has ever waited long for settlers after the rail- 
roads came. The people of Oregon are fully alive to 
their good fortune and have a keen appreciation of 
the possibilities of their state. Newcomers are wel- 
comed — for they want and need you in working out 
their destiny. 

MILIT.\RY-ROAD-GRANT LANDS. 

One of the greatest obstacles to the development 
of a large portion of Oregon has been removed, now 
that what is known as the Military-Road-Grant 
Lands have been purchased from the French syndi- 
cate and put on the inarket in small tracts. There 
are 800,000 acres of this land now for sale in Central 
Oregon, which can be purchased in small tracts, if 
desired. 

Originally, the Willamette Valley and Cascade 
Mountain Read Corporation built a military and 
wagon highway from Santiam Pass across the Cas- 
cade Range and through Central Oregon in an 
easterly direction. After this road was built and 
land grants obtained, various sj-ndicates and corpo- 
rations repurchased the grants, which were finally 
secured by the Oregon and Western Colonization 
Company, of St. Paul, Minn., which is capitalized 
at $12,000,000. This company has for sale 800,000 
acres of land in Crook, Harney and Malheur Coun- 
ties, which were carefully selected on account of 
their more than average fertility. The grants al- 
lowed the old company to take their pick of the 
sections along the road. This Central Oregon land 
is most suitable for wheat and grain-raising, cattle, 
horse, sheep and hog raising. A special l)noklet de- 
scribing these lands will be sent free on request.

PENNSYLVANIA 



A Remarkable State Which Stands First in the Production of Many Important Commodities. 



Undoubtedly one of the best states for the land 
seeker is that which has the greatest number of 
resources, so that if agriculture and the purchase 
of land is not immediately possible, some other 
industry can be followed, until the opportunity for 
getting a home and land comes forward. 

While not the largest in area Pennsylvania is 
remarkable for having within its borders such great 
amount and variety of raw material pertaining to 
the necessities of life. The people of this state are 
to be commended also for the utilization of their 
natural resources in such great degree. To il- 
lustrate: 

Water is a raw material and the enterprise of 
Pennsylvania changes it from fluid to solids in such 
great quantity that the state, in one of the late 
average years produced ice to the value of $2,038,504. 

GREAT IRON MANUFACTURING CENTER. 

In iron and steel Pennsylvania was first with 
products valued at $434,445,200, or 54 per cent of 
all iron produced in the United States. 

This state stood first in the manufacture of 
Coke, Pennsylvania reporting annual products valued 
at $22.2S2,3.'>S, or 62.6 per cent of all coke manu- 
factured. 

This was the state most prominent in the making 
of glass, its annual products being worth $23,274,113. 

With anthracite coal area of 480 square miles 
and bituminous 9,000 square miles, it is not sur- 
prising that its coal product in 190.5 was valued 
at $127,534,895. exceeding more than 50 per cent 

of all the other output of coal in the United States. 

In a late year the state stood first also in leather, 
its product being valued at $55,615,009. 

In the construction of steam and street railroad 
cars Pennsylvania stood first with annual products 
worth $63,570,599. 

In petroleum refining this state is first, with 
annual product valued at $34,977,706. 

It stands first in the production of natural gas, 
with a value of $5,528,610. Salt springs, yielding 
over 300,000 barrels of salt annually, limestone, 
sandstone quarries, and fire clay production are 
among the growing industries being developed. 

Pennsylvania leads in production of Portland 
cement. The output in 18!)7 was 1,200.000 barrels. 
value $1,740,000, and since then greatly increased 
annually. 

Prosperous manufacturing centers are Philadel- 
phia with over 18,000 factories and over 300,000 
operatives. Pittsburg, one of the most important 



cities in the world, in brass, iron, steel, copper, 
glass and paper, and with the natural gas region 
around it. 

Another great advantage pertaining to the state 
is that of transportation. On June 1, 1905. Penn- 
sylvania had 11,155.84 miles of railroad, and canal 
and slack water navigation of 725 miles. Erie 
possesses one of the best harbors on Lake Erie, 
with a coast line of 45 miles, and has a large ex- 
port and import trade, and Philadelphia has four 
lines of European steamers, affording outlet to all 
parts of the world. Thus it is seen that being near 
the great central markets, the abundant facilities 
for quickly and cheaply reaching them, healthy 
climate and great agricultural product, indicating 
fertile soil, the land seeker will be able with his 
family to get a support in this state, and cannot 
go far amiss if he makes Pennsylvania his abiding 
place.

Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



RHODE ISLAND 



Smallest in Area of Any One of the United States — rotation of tlie First Cotton Factory in the I nion and 

tlie Leading- Center for Print Cloths 



S}iould the land seeker ask concerning- the induce- 
ments for settlement in Rhode Island, the reply may 
be that an old manufacturing region like this affords 
ample opportunity for getting employment, if not on 
land, then certainly in some one of the many fac- 
tories that abound in this state. 

It is a fact that must always be understood, that 
in any region it takes a little time to get fixed in 
the right place. Whether in a Western territory 6v 
in an old New England State, there are vacancies 
occurring, from time to time, in the various avenues 
of enterprise and employment which call for every 
kind of brain and hand. With the tens of thousands 
of different men it is impossible that all can be kept 
continually in the same groove. By death, restless- 
ness, discharge, accidents and otherwise, one officer 
after another, one mechanic after another, one lab- 
orer after another, will fall out of the ranks and his 
place must be filled. 

While that Is true in the field of mechanics and 
clerical employ, it is true in the domain of agricul- 
tural enterprise and ownership. However desirable 
locations and neighborhoods may be for gardening 
or farming, lands always will be offered for sale in 
choice localities, and the land seeker has only to 
visit such places as fancy and judgment may select, 
bide his time, watch the opportunity and obtain what 
is desired. 

CENTRAL, POINT FOB DLSTRIBUTION. 

Examination shows that Rhode Island is very fa- 
vorably located for commercial advantage. It has a 
good climate, with an annual average teinperature of 
about 48 at Providence, and .50 at Newport, with a 
yearly rainfall of 44.81 inches at Providence. While 
not a mountainous region it is hilly, with a soil,, to 
the West of Narragansett Bay, naturally better 
adapted to grazing than to the growing of cereals 
and vegetables. And yet, through fertilization, and 
through cultivation, the small farms and market 
gardens in the vicinity of the cities afford liberal 
support for their owners. 

That the people of Rhode Island are attached to 
their farms, their gardens, and their factories, is 
shown in the fact that instead of emigrating: to other 
parts of the world, where agricultural conditions 
would seem to be better, they continue to remain — 
they, their children, and their children's children — 
right here in Rhode Island until population is so 
dense as to give over 508 persons to the square mile. 

NATURAL MANUFACTURING POINT. 

Investigation shows that while agriculturists and 
horticulturists do well here, it is not the soil which 
holds them. In fact, census returns show that less 
than one-fifth of the people engage in agriculture, 
but that the great majority are employed in factories 
and manufacturing. Though the streains generally 
are small they furnish such an abundance of power 
as to make the state, with its accessibility to mar- 
kets, aided by railroads and Narragansett Bay, which 
extends up 28 miles into the state, an ideal region 
for manufacturing, and shipment of goods to the 
nearby great markets. 

BEGUN IN THLS STATE. 

It was here at PawtucUet, on Pawtucket River. 
where the first cotton factory in America was erected 
in 1700. It is near here, at Providence, that the 
great Corliss engine works are located. Providence, 
with its immense woolen and cotton mills, is widely 
celebrated as being the leading market for prim 
cloths in the United States. 

As a general manufacturing point Providence is a 
center for silverware, .fewelry, hardware and sewing 
machines; Pawtucket for its extensive print, d.veing 
and bleaching works, files ami cardboard; Woon- 
socket, for its cotton manufactures: Valley Falls its 
horseshoes, and Bristol its rubber works, and its 
torpedo boats, launches and yachts. 

The shell fisheries are important. The commerce 
is chiefly domestic. Providence, being so far up in 



the interior by water navigation, up Narragansett 
Bay, and river. Providence receives large quantities 
of coal and cotton for neighboring states as well as 
for the home supply, and ships manufactured goods. 
Being a very central inland seaport, much merchan- 
dise is received and shipped from here for the Bos- 
ton trade. 

WHY TWO CAPITALS FOR THE STATE. 

People will query why so small a state should 
find it necessary to have had so long two state capi- 
tals. It is the old story of two families living in one 
house, ^s'hile they could pleasantly visit each other 
from distant points, moving in together made a 
familiarity that bred contempt, which resulted in 
quarrel. 

The differences here date back to 163(1 when Roger 
Williams was banished from Massachusetts for too 
much liberality in religion and look up his residence 
in this state at the head of a colony. William Cod- 
dington came in 1039 at the head of another colony, 
located on the island where Newport and Portsmouth 
are situated, followed by John Greene and .Samuel 
Godin, who headed a settlement at Warwick in 1G43. 

In the meantime Roger Williams went to England 
and obtained a patent for the united government of 
the settlements. Following this patent, which ex- 
pired in lt>G3, a charter was secured froin Charles II 
of England incorporating the colony of Rhode Island 
and the Providence Plantations, which was the only 
constitution of governi-nent for 180 years. This old 
charter of 1063 during the 180 years, brought old 
conditions up to 1843, when Providence, Pawtucket 
and other towns, dissatisfied with their small repre- 
sentation in the legislative councils, though niany 
times larger than Newport, had a constitutional con- 
vention called and secured the necessary votes to 
make Providence the seat of government. State offi- 
cers were elected, but in the attempt to secure the 
capital for Providence the party in power claimed 
that the old charter was in force, that the election 
was illegal, that the attempt to take the reins of 
government was rebellion, and when the people met 
to enforce the provisions of the new election they 
were met with a military force and dispersed. Not 
only that, but the newly elected governor was ar- 
rested as a traitor and imprisoned for a time. 

ENDE.WOR TO GET ONE CAPITAL. 

As a compromise a new state constitution was pre- 
pared and adopted by the people which made Provi- 
dence and Newport each alternately the capital of 
the state, and such was the condition since 1.S43 
until the adoption of an amendment to the state 
constitution in 1!I0() which caused Providence to be- 
come the capital of the state. 

The story is much longer than we have told it here 
as to the cause of the two capitals, but this was the 
case in brief. Land seekers will not worry, however, 
about old history. On the contrary, they will act 
wisely when they investigate why so many people 
can live and prosper in so small a space. The re- 
sult may be that they will find here what they want.

SOUTH CAROLINA 



A State That Raises Tea, Pays Expense of Bringing Immigrants from Foreign Countries to Soutliern Ports, 
Entertains New Arrivals witli Cordial Welcome, and Finds Them Good Positions • 

on Farms or in 3Ianufaeturing Employment 



One of the very favorably situated states, located 
on the south Atlantic coast is South Carolina, the 
state authorities in which are exhibiting a great 
amount of enterprize in advertising its advantages. 

To inform land seekers of the face of the country, 
climate and soil we take the following from Hill's 
General Cyclopedia. 

"The area of the state comprises 30.961 square 
miles. It is 180 miles long, from north to south, 
and 160 miles wide, from east to west. 

"The surface may be about equally divided into 
high, middling and low land, the last named rising 
from the seacoast. where it is flat and level, and 
gradually increasing in elevation toward the in- 



terior., where it attains an average of about 250 
feet, continuing to the north line where, after vary- 
ing from ."JOO to .SOO feet, it reaches an elevation "of 
1,000 feet at Table Mountain in Pickens County. 

LOW M.4RSHY L.4XD NE.4R THE COAST 

"The land along and near the coast is low, marshy 
and swampy, especially on the river banks, rolling 
and diversified toward the center, and undulating 
near the mountain slope, but in places al>rupt. 
King's Mountain rising almost perpendicularly rH'0 
feet. 

"The land is well drained by numerous rivers, 
the largest of which, the Santee. formed by the 
Saluda, Congaree. Catawba and Wateree. uniting at 
the center of the state. There are several smaller 



181

rivers the power on which is being developed for 
manufacturing. 

CLI3IATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 

"Tlie climate is mild and genial, snow falling; in 
the mountains but rarely in the middle sections, 
and seldom or never along: the coast. The average 
yearly temperature at Charltston is 65. The rain- 
fall ranges Irom 60 inches on the coast to 40 inches 
in the mountains, with 48 inches in the interior. 

"The soil in the low country is remarkably fertile, 
tlie several swainps and reclaimed marshes, being 
admirably adapted to the cultivation of rice, while 
the sandy loam of the sea islands and surrounding 
mainland, produces the finest long staple black seed, 
or sea island cotton of silky fiber. Abundant crops 
are raised of wheat, rye, corn, oats, barley, buck- 
wheat, peas, beans, sugar, tobacco, indigo, sorghum, 
broom corn, sunflower, Guinea corn, sweet and 
Irish potatoes, hemp, flax and hops. 

WHAT KINDS OF ORCHARDS HERE 

"Numerous orchards all over the state furnish 
quantities of apples, pears, quinces, plums, peaches, 
nectarines, apricots, cherries, and along the coast, 
figs, oranges, lemons, olives and pomegranates. The 
raspberry, blackberry, mulberry and whortleberry 
are produced. The strawberry is extensively cul- 
tivated along the coast. The grape g:rows wild in 
many portions of the state and in great varieties. 
The gardens and farms produce, in abundance, 
turnips, beets, p.irsnips, carrots, artichokes, mustard, 
benne, rhubarb, arrowroot, water and musk melons, 
cucumbers, cabbages, kale, lettuce, cayenne pepper, 
squashes, okra, pumpkias, onions, leeks, beans, 
radishes, celery, green peas and tomatoes. 

"The forests consist of long and short leaved 
pine, magnolia, sweet and black gum, white, water, 
live and red oak, black walnut, elm, hickory, maple, 
sycamore, ash, cypress, chestnut, beech, locust, per- 
simon, dogwood and poplar. 

MINERALS OF SOUTH CAROLINA 

"Minerals are liberally diffused over the state. 
The g:old belt extends from the north Carolina line 
in a southwesterly direction. Granite is abundant 
in many counti.es. But the most important mineral 
product of South Carolin.a is the famous deposit of 
phosphate rock extending about 70 miles from the. 
mouth of the Broad River, near Port Royal, to the 
headwaters of the Wando, north of Charleston. 

"Manufactures are growing in importance, chief 
among them being cotton yarn and cloth, flour, 
lumber, turpentine and fertilizers. The cotton seed 
industry is one of the thriving lines of industry." 

FISHERY BUSINESS 

The fisheries of South Carolina are of consider- 
able importance, but the warm climate, fertile soil, 
abundant rainfall all indicate that one of the most 
important industries in the near future will be 
truck business and market gardening in the vicinity 
of the towns and cities of the state. It is seen 
from our enumeration of the different fruits and 
vegetable products, which can be grown in this 
climate, that this state has an excellent future for 
the agriculturist and the horticulturist. 

Knowing the abundant resources of the state, 
the authorities of South Carolina have entered upon 
a vig;orou8 advertisingr of the state for the purpose 
of bringing in a new population. To that end 
they have arranged with a certain transportation 
line to run their steamers from Europe direct to 
the South Carolina seaports, bringing in a class of 
people of their own selection in European countries. 

THE STATE SENDS A COMMISSION DIRECT 
TO EUROPE 

To begin the work of upbuilding the state 
systematii-ally, the state legislature organized the 
S'outh Carolina State Department of Agriculture, 
Commerce and Immigration, and to carry forward 
the work rightly an enterprising capable man has 
been appointed commissioner, who agrees with the 
Federal government to bring immigrants into South 
Carolina and not violate labor laws. 

To carry the immigration scheme through he 
personally goes to European countries, arranges with 
foreign "governments to allow their people to 
emigrate, sorts out such people as will make good 
citizens in the United States, pays their fare when 
necessary, hunts up freight enough coming over 
and going back to make it an object for the 
steamer to come direct to a southern port, besides 
carrying passengers, sees to the reception of these 
imm"ig>-ants when they get here, aids them in getting 



into the back districts where their assistance is 
required in farming districts, and into cotton mills, 

and other factories where their help is imperatively 
necessary. 

GREATLY HELPS IMMIGRANTS 

The result is the immigrants who come, receive 
better pay than in their own country, they come 
into better conditions for themselves and families, 
and in developing the resources of the South their 
labor is adding just so much to the wealth and 
taxable values of the country. While not competing 
with the laboring classes theV are benefiting every- 
body who has occasion to buy any product that 
comes from the South. 

The South Carolina Immigrant Commissioner 
does not sto^> at this. He has gathered lists of 
farm properties for sale, with prices in all parts 
of the state, puts into pamphlet form these proper- 
ties for sale, conditions of climate, soil, cost of 
living in South Carolina, educational advantages, 
etc.. and any one who will write to the Commis- 
sioner of Immigration, Columbia, S. C, will receive 
instructive literature that will prove the superior 
opportunities offered in this state for land seekers, 
people that want to buy land, hire land, work for 
others or work land on shares. 

RAISING TEA PROFITABLY IN SOUTH 
CAROLINA 

This South Carolina immigration literature illus- 
trates how they are raising tea in South Carolina, 
where in Tltll they produced 10,000 pounds, worth 
one dollar a pound; how they produce silk, glass- 
ware, paints, fertilizing materials, oranges, etc., 
etc. Tells how one man in Marlboro county grew 
2.55 bushels of corn from a single acre, how a couple 
of Rhode Islanders, who came in here, settled at 
Beaufort, went into the trucking business, planted 
36 acres in radishes; took off a crop, and planted 
again in radishes, realizing $10,000 from the two 
crops. The next year they planted the same ground 
in beets; took off a good crop and followed this 
with cucumbers, making a good yield. After 
cucumbers, corn was planted making over 50 bushels 
to the acre. 

Five (5) crops on the same ground in the same 
year, in rotation were gathered. A picture is given 
in the pamphlet showing these grounds, accom- 
panied by the statement that these men knew but 
little of farming at the beginning. 

HOW NEWCOMERS ABE SUCCESSFUL HERE 

This literature details how a poor man at Neg- 
gett, S. C, began working for small wages in ISttl, 
and is now the largest shipper of cabbage in the 
woild from his 1,000 acres. The cultivating of that 
crop costing him .fllO.OOO. Gives the case of an- 
other man at Yonge's Island who is the largest 
shipper of cabbage plants. Ships 40,000,000 plants 
worth $35,000. Sends out 100,000,000 plants in 100 
cars. Began a poor man. 

The largest pecan grower in existence is claimed 
to be at Mount Pleasant, S. C, having one grove of 
600 acres, and two smaller groves with 10,000 trees 
in each. His annual product is ten tons. 

But the South Carolina Immigrant Commission 
does not stop at simply sending out advertising 
matter. They want everybody — every land seeker, 
who wishes to change position or improve his con- 
dition, to write to the commissioner, who will im- 
mediately send back word telling the cheapest and 
best way to get here. And that is not all, when 
the newcomer arrives a reception committee will 
meet him, entertain him, show him at the per- 
manent State Exhibit at Columbia the resources of 
the state, and when he decides what he wants 
to do and where in the state he wants to locate 
he will be aided to get there, permanently and 
profitably settled.

INFLUENCES WHICH PRECIPITATED THE REBELUON 

JOHN C. CALHOUN OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 



"John C. Calhoun, the third son of his parents, 
was born just at the close of the Revolutionary 
struggle. He showed himself from early boyhood 
grave and thoughtful, ardent and persevering. At 
the age of 13 he took to reading history and 
metaphysics. His father died about this time, 
leaving his fainily in moderate circumstances. 

"Continuing with his mother, John C. lived upon 
the farm until the age of 19, when he commenced 
a course of reading, having in contemplation the 
profession of law. 

"In June, ISOO. he entered the private academy 
of his brother-in-law, Dr. Waddel, a Presbyterian 
clergyman, and two years afterward joined the 
Junior class of Yale College. He graduated with 
the highest distinction. Dr. Dwight, the president 
of the college, remarked, after a discussion with 
him on the origin of political power,, 'That young 
inan has talent enough to be president of the 
United States.' 

"The next three years he devoted to the study 
of law, eighteen months of it in the law school at 
Litchfield, Conn., then the only institution of its kind 
In the country. 

"He was soon afterward chosen a member of the 
State Legislature, and in ISll was elected to Con- 
gress. Marrying in 1811, he settled in Bath, S. C, 
a few miles distant from his former home in Abbe- 
ville and there continued his ' place of residence 
when absent from Washington. 

"From the time of his first election to Congress 
he was almost continuously actively employed as a 
southern repi'esentative in Congressional legislation, 
his contemporaries in Congress, among others, being 
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, with whom he had 
many controversies on matters affecting the admis- 
sion of new states and their attitude on the sub- 
jest of slavery. 

'•Tall, dignified, an eloquent speaker and a very 
forceful reasoner, it is not surprising that he was 
a man of large influence in the councils of the 
Nation. 

CALHOUN IN PRIVATE LITE. 

Concerning Calhoun as a citizen in private and 
domestic life, his biographer continues: 

"As a private citizen Calhoun was highly amiable 
and exemplary, enjoying the devoted love of his 
own family and dependents and the entire respect 
and sincere regard of his neighbors. He had ten 
children, three daughters who died in early infancy, 
and five sons and two daughters who survived him. 
His political views were often gloomy; but in pri- 
vate life he was uniformly cheerful. He entered 
into the enjoyments of those around him with a 
sympathy and kindness that endeared him to all. 
He was fond of promoting innocent mirth, and, 
though no jester himself, laughed heartily at the 
jests of others. 

"He was fond of reading, and in his youth de- 
voted much of his leisure to it, but neither his 
multifarious occupations nor his cast of mind per- 
mitted him to be a general reader. He, however, 
enjoyed good poetry, good novels, and able reviews. 
He was not wealthy, but his pecuniary means 
under his excellent management were . amply suffi- 
cient for the wants of his family. Though not 
musical, he was fond of Scotch and Irish songs and 
ballads. 

"He rose early and devoted his mornings to writ- 
ing. He walked a great deal over his plantation, 
personally superintending its minutest operations. 
He was the first or one of the first in that region 
to cultivate successfully small grain and cotton 
for market: and he not only ha<i the finest melons, 
figs, peaches and other southern fruits, but his 
apples, pears, cherries, grapes, strawberries, rasp- 
beries, etc., were equally excellent. 

"He was not only fond of agriculture, but an 
eminently good and successful planter. His servants 
were, in" all respects, well treated. They came to 
him as umpire and judge. Of their private crops 
he purchased what he wanted at the highest mar- 
ket price, and gave them every facility for dis- 
posing of the rest. His rigid justice regulated his 
conduct towards them, which they repaid by devoted 



affection: and this system of management was so 
successful that to have been an overseer at Fort Hill 
was a high recommendation. His countenance at 
rest was strikingly marked by decision and firmness; 
in conversation or v.'hen speaking, it became highly 
animated and expressive. His large, dark, brilliant, 
penetrating eyes strongly impressed all who encoun- 
tered their glances. When addressing the Senate 
he stood firm, erect, accompanying his delivery with 
an angular gesticulation. His manner of speaking 
was energetic, ardent, rapid and marked by solemn 
earnestness which inspired strong belief in his sin- 
cerity and deep conviction." 

We have turned aside thus to dilate on one of the 
most distinguished characters in Southern life, in 
order to reveal why the people of South Carolina 
were led into the rebellion. 

Mr. Calhoun was born in the midst of pro-slavery 
sentiment. Masters and slaves were everywhere 
about him. He had no occasion to study the subject 
of anti-slavery. All his association was with pro- 
slavery element, and his legal support came from 
slave owners. 

Being elected to Congress by pro-slavery inter- 
ests, it was natural that he shguM espouse the pro- 
sla\ery cause. His advent into Congressional Legis- 
lation was at a time when new 'states were asking 
for admission to the Union and Congress was to 
determine whether they should be free or slave 
states. At this juncture Calhoun came to the 
front as the champion of pro-slavery. This was 
demonstrated in the speech he made in Congress in 
184S on the question of admitting Oregon as a 
free state. In this speech he strenuously opposed 
the admission of Oregon as free territory. 

At that period the anti-slavery sentiment of the 
North was becoming more and more aggressive, 
causing Congressmen from the .South to threaten 
the dissolution of the Union if the North continued 
to interfere with the property rights of the South 
on the subject of slavery. 

To protect the slave interests Calhoun entered 
upon the advocacy of state rights-rthe right of 
a state to separate from a union of other states, 
that the American revolution was precljiitated by a 
determination to separate from the mother country 
and equally should it be the privilege of the South 
to go by itself to protect its rights. 

It was extremely natural for an able advocate 
like Calhoun — a strong man of blameless life, a 
brilliant orator, speaking from concientious motive, 
to make an audience believe in the right of seces- 
sion. And so Calhoun carried the people with him 
up to the point of firing upon Fort Sumter, as 
they did on April 12-13, 1S61, in Charleston Har- 
bor, South Carolina. Although Calhoun at that 
time had been dead eleven years, his advocacy of 
the right of a state to secede had finally borne 
fruit. 

D-4NIEL ^^-EBSTER'S OPINION OF CALHOUN. 

In memorial address, in the Senate of the United 
States, Welister gave his estimate of Calhoun, from 
which we extract the following: 

"The eloquence of Mr. Calhoun was a part of his 
intellectual character. It grew out of the qualities 
of his mind. It was plain, strong, wise, condensed, 
concise, sometimes impassioned, still always severe. 
Rejecting ornament, not often seeking illustration, 
his power consisted in the'jpilninness of his propo- 
sitions in the closeness of- his logic and in the 
earnestness and energy of his manner. No man was 
more respectful to others; no man carried himself 
with greater decorum; no man with sui)enor dig- 
nity I have not in public or in private lile known 
a more assiduous person in the discharge ol his 
duty • • • His colloquial talents were singular 
and eminent. There was a charm in his conversa- 
tion not often found. He delighted especially In 
the conversation and Intercourse with young men. 
I suppose there has been no man among us who 
had more winning manners in such an intercourse 
and such conversation with rnen comparatively 
voung • • • He has the basis, the jndisputablo 
basis of all high character, unspotted integrity and 
honor unimpeached."

SOUTH DAKOTA 



Celebrated fcr its Former "Indian Wars," Its "Hot Springs," Its "Deadwood" and Its "Black Hills.' 



In the investigation of a region of the country 
with a view to permanent settlement therein it 
is necessary that care be observed not to let 
rumors, sentiment or prejudice influence the indi- 
vidual. 

A newspaper report of yellow fever prevailing in 
a certain region will deter tliousands of people 
from contemplated emigration into that section. 
The report may be mere rumor, but even, if true, 
yellow fever is but a temporary affliction which 
time will remedy. Many thousands of people re- 
fused to locate in Chicago in an early day because 
cholera was there at one time. 

A case of smallpox in a town through sensational 
advertising in the newspapers, will so frighten 
people from going to the town where the case is 
said to exist as to injure business for weeks and 
months in that town, whereas possibly the scare 
was only from a rumor, but even if smallpox did 
exist it was only a temporary matter. 

ABOUT BLIZZARDS. 

And so from time to time the papers will convey 
to the people in large headlines the startling in- 
formation that blizzards, deep snows and coal 
famine have overcome the people of Dakota and 
thousands are perishing. Many people are liable, 
from these reports, to believe that a country thus 
subject to terrific winds and cold, is unfit for habi- 
tation. And so as many people turned aside from 
Chicago, because of cholera and went around In- 
diana because of fever and ague, and lost the oppor- 
tunity for profitable investment so people, on mere 
rumor, and large headings in news items will be- 
come so unfavorably impressed with a region of 
country or a state as to cause them to often lose 
golden opportunities. This is particularly true of 
both North and South Dakota. The two states 
comprise an empire within themselves. IS times 
larger than Massachusetts. In all that immense 
territory there is liable to be unusual weather, 
sometirnes, and delay in transportation which peo- 
ple should understand is but temporary. 



WHAT THE HOME-SEEKER W.\XTS. 

What the land-seeker is searching for is a region 
of the country where health may be maintained, 
and where a reasonable profit may be obtained 
from the soil which he buys. 

It is the ambition of most men to get situated 
on a tract of land that will afford a good support 
for the family and something inore. That "some- 
thing more" is largely a matter of imagination. 
It means certainly a sufficiency of food, dress, a 
comfortable home, education, reasonable amusement 
and some travel. All this should come out of the 
farm. That farm is what the land-seeker is after. 

WHAT OIR RE.\DERS NEED. 

It is for that reason that we lay before the 
reader the merit, and the opportunities which exist 
in all regions, that he may have the largest pos- 
sible chance to inake a good selection of soil, 
climate, location, manufacturing opportunities as an 
aid in getting ahead and general advantages in 
acquiring wealth. 

South Dakota is so large a state as to have 
great variety of soil and it is so young yet as to 
give many opportunities for the acquisition of 
wealth. For exampli-: The Missouri River flows 
nearly through the middle of the state from north 
to southeast, and all that portion of the state 
west of that river, is unopened as yet to much white 
settlement. That area of the state west of the 
Missouri, comprises about 40,000 square miles — a 
state within itself. 190 miles wide and 245 miles 
in length from north to south. 

All that part of South Dakota has yet to be 
opened to close settlement, and that was just be- 
ginning in 1907 by the Northwestern railway run- 
ning a new line from Pierre, the capital of the 
state, a distance of about 160 miles. This road 
begins in Stanley county and ends In Pennington 
county.

South Dakota Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



OPENIXG A NEW REGION TO SETTLERS. 

This new line opens up a new regrion that con- 
tains thousands of square miles of grazing land 
of the finest quality, and places it in immediate 
connection with the outside world. 

It is a fact, conceded by the best authorities, that 
this open range west of the Missouri river, has a 
greater rainfall, richer soil, milder winters, more 
pleasant summers and natural resources of greater 
e.Ktent than are available in portions of Europe, in 
which dwell 100,000.(100 of people, and where farm 
lands are worth from $100 to $800 per acre. 

The area of the region to be opened up by the 
new line of railway is extensive, there being in 
Stanley county alone more than forty-eight hundred 
square miles. 

The general surface of the country Is rolling, and 
throughout the high rolling region ' are beautiful 
level plateaus. The small streams are much more 
numerous than in any other part of the state. The 
Cheyenne river and the Bad river traverse this 
section from west to east. 

NEW RAILROAD STATIONS AND NEW TOWNS. 

There will be sixteen new stations opened on the 
«ie\v line between Pierre and Rapid City, and at a 
large number of these points new towns will be 
opened under the auspices of the railroad company. 

The company announce in the establishment of 
these new towns, that as fast as the construction 
of the road is completed, town lots will be dis- 
posed of at low rates and attractive opportunities 
offered for establishing various lines of business. 

We advise the reader in search of new lands 
and openings for l>usiness to keep an eye on the 
operations of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail- 
road in Dakota, and if no desirable opportunity 
for immediate investment offers go through to Rapid 
City on the new line and see what chances are 
presented in the irrigation works which are re- 
claiming and Irrigating over 100,000 acres of land, 
In the Belle Fourche River Valley a little north- 
east of the Black Hills. 

This land being irrigated is thrown open to set- 
tlement under the United States Homestead Laws, 
the settler paying $3.20 per acre for ten successive 
years, gains' full title to the land and perpetual 
title. The government will sell 80-acre farms at 
that rate, but within one mile of a town site they 
sell but 40-acre tracts. 

EXCELLENT MARKETS IN AVHICH TO SELL. 

Land seekers should understand that the thickly 
settled Black Hills mining district always will be 
one of the best markets to be found in the United 
States. 

The Black Hills cover an area 60 miles wide by 
100 miles long and are called black because cov- 
ered with a dark Norway pine. They are a black- 
blue, and in the shadow of a cloud they turn to 
an intense black. 

This mystic region thrown up in the midst of the 
plains by" some giant upheaval of past ages, has 
been known since the time of the earliest aborigines 
for its health giving air and medicinal waters. 

ABOUT THE BLACK HILLS. 

So far as known the region was not visited by 
white men until after 1825, but prior to that time 
roaming Indians, who came to white settlements, 
told wondrous stories of the Black Mountains or 
spoke of the "Shining Hills" and the "Happy Place" 
and the richness of the grass and abundance of 
the game found there. They also told of gold and 
silver, and of treasure that their ancestors had 
guarded for centuries, all of which were, according 
to their descriptions, isolated from the surrounding 
country by a vast and dangerous desert. Their 
tales served but to arouse the intense desire of the 
restless frontiersmen to reach and investigate this 
wonderful region. 

In the meantime, through all these disclosures, 
the whites were warned that the Indians closely 
guarded their 'treasures, and that it would be 
dangerous for them to trespass on these Indian 
lands. Notwithstanding these warnings, the records 
show that a party of seven prospectors in IS,"?.'), 
visited the region and were stealthily followed by 
the Indians, who massacred all the number but 
one. This man was finally caught and killed, 
near the present site of Spearfish and his gold sold 
to the Hudson Bay Company for $18,000. 

WARS AMONG INDIAN TRIBES. 

But however much the white man is disposed to 
kill to obtain gold, the Indian is just as much so, 



even among his own race. From time immeinorial 
the Cheyennes held the Black Hills, but finally in 
a tremendous three days' hand-to-hand conflict 
on Battle Mountain, overlooking the vale of Minne- 
katahta, in which Hot Springs is located, the Sioux 
practically annihilated their old-time enemies, men, 
women and children, and held for their own until 
the white man came, a territory of some 43,000 
square miles, with the Black Hills as a center. 

The first organized exploring party to visit the 
Black Hills was that under General Harney in IS.'i."); 
succeeding which General Custer, with about l.OOO 
I''. S. troops, from Abraham Lincoln Fort on the 
Missouri river, made a sixty-day exploring expedi- 
tion to the Hills in 1874. 

GENERxlL CUSTER'S DEATH. 

In the expedition of General Terr.v against the 
Sioux Indians in Montana, in 1870, Custer divided 
his regiment at the Little Big Horn river, in order 
to attack the Indians on two sides, but he and his 
whole regiment were killed June 25. 1876. Custer 
became the name of a town in the Black Hills and 
several counties of the new states in the west 
bear that name. 

Three years after Custer's expedition to the Hills 
General Crook, in behalf of the government, gave 
the Indians .$4,500,000 for their rights and Sitting 
Bull and his warriors were removed to other terri- 
tory. 

FIRST GOLD FROM THE BLACK HILLS. 

The first gold in the Hills was panned July 3, 
1874, at a point about one inile east of the present 
town of Custer, by H. N. Ross, a resident of Custer, 
who at that time was General Custer's chief of 
scouts. Today there are more than 200 mining 
companies operating in the Hills, employing more 
than 5,000 miners, whose annual earnings exceed 
$6,000,000, while in the industrial branches con- 
nected with mining and other interests, are 7,500 
more, including about 1,500 engaged in the lumber 
industry. 

Since 1876 the gold production of this district, 
up to 1905, was .$140,000,000 and still there is no 
cessation in the discovery of new and legitimate 
properties. Output, 1911, $7,625,500.

THE BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, 

From Circulai- Issued by C. & N. W. R. R. Pass. Dept. 

In the southwest corner of South Dakota and the 
northeastern portion of Wyoming, their sides cov- 
ered \\ ith dark pines and their surface crossed and 
recrossed by tlie many streams which unite to form 
the two forks of the Cheyenne River, are the Black 
Hills. Their picturesque slopes, dark and shining, 
rise in striking contrast to the vast and rolling 
prairie which surrounds them on all sides, and en- 
close a region ri< h In gold and silver, well timbered, 
well watered, and possessed of a climate unusually 
attractive, free from extremes of heat or cold, with 
a bracing and invigoiating air that is famous for its 
liealth-giving properties. 

In fact, in addition to its mining interests, the 
Black Hills region forms one of the greatest natural 
sanitariums in the world. 

The pure air and happy combination of right alti- 
tudes with medicinal waters, .ioin to make it a 
noted health resort. It is but thirty-seven hours' 
ride from Chicago and that places it within easy 
reach of the principal centers of population. 

This m.vstic region, thrown' up in the midst of the 
plains by some giant upheaval of past ages, has been 
known since the time of the earliest aborigines. It 



186 



South Dakota Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



occupies an area about sixty miles wide and one 
Iiundred miles long. Surrounding it on the nortli, 
east and south are prairie lands whose succulent 
grasses make them especially suitable for the graz- 
ing of cattle, and of such extent that their outer 
rim encloses an area greater than that of Great 
Britain, Germany and France; a region which is rich 
in promise to the farmer, cattleman and ranchman. 
It is estimated that the water supply available in 
this region is sufficient for the irrigation of millions 
of acres of lands. Much irrigation development work 
is now being done, the government irrigation at Belle 
Fourche being especially important. 

This rolling prairie land surrounding the hills is 
broken here and there by square and Hat-topped 
buttes, with the grass land stretching far away to 
the mountain eminences. The streams which cross 
the levels or break down through the gorges are 
clear as crystal. Many of the lesser buttes near 
these streams are turfed over their summits, and 
the table-lands raise high tlreir surfaces covered 
■with nutritious pasturage. 

WHY THE HILLS ARE CALLED "BLACK." 

Beyond this level district are the Hills, clothed 
with Norway pine that gives thein a color of deepest 
blue, the blue of the California plum; hills so dark 
that a cloud before the sun will turn them to an 
intense black against a sky that seems to twinkle 
with electric flashes. On these beautiful hills one 
may stand and, looking far across the plains, see in 
the distance the buttes of Bear, Slave, Crow, Deer's 
Ears, Topknot and Lodge, while nearer at hand one 
valley rises above another, each turfed and green, 
forming long serpentine belts that stretch their way 
among the trees of darker foliage. 

THE HISTORY OF THE HILLS. 

Black Hills history dates back more than three 
centuries to the time when the Cheyennes jealously 
guarded the region as a himting: resort, and as a 
place where the Great Spirit had mysteriously be- 
stowed health-giving powers on the air and had 
given unusual medicinal value to the water. The 
natural formation of the region made the Hills 
well-nigh impregnable, and the Indians held the 
place in great awe, guarding with jealous care the 
health-giving springs, the wonderful pine-covered 
slopes and the stores of precious metal contained 
within the mountains. 

The Cheyennes held the Black Hills as their own 
until after a tremendous hand-to-hand conflict on 
Battle Mountain, overlooking the Vale of Minne- 
kahta, in which Hot Springs is located. Here the 
Sioux practically annihilated their old time enemies, 
and held for their own, until the white men came, 
a territory of some 43,000 square miles, with the 
Hills as a center, driving from their newly won 
empire the fur traders who had trapped and traded 
along the small streams which form the Cheyenne. 

FIRST EXPLORATION. 

The first organized exploring party to visit the 
Black Hils was that under Gen. Harney in 1855, in 
which year it was followed by that of Lieut. War- 
ren, of the U. S. Topo.graphical Engineers, who made 
three surveys of the Hills. 

After Gen. Harney's visit, interest in the Black 
Hills grew rapidly, until, under instructions from 
Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Custer left Fort Abraham Lin- 
coln, on the Missouri River, opposite the present 
site of Bismarck, N. D.. June 2, 1874, and with 
about 1,000 U. S. troops made a sixty-day exploring 
expedition. Returning, he issued a report as to the 
natural wealth of the region, which, while couched 
in the most conservative terms, created intense in- 
terest in the west and the following winter found 
several parties of prospectors in the Hills, including 
some of those who had accompanied Custer's party. 

Finally, three years after Gen. Custer's expedition, 
Gen. Crook compromised with the Indians as to the 
purchase of their lands, and the Government paying 
them $4,500,000 for their riffhts. Sitting Bull and 
his warriors wei-e removed to other territory and 
the cav.ilry forces withdrawn. The trail of the 
mountain sheep and the path of the Indian were 
widened' into wagon roads, the regi»m thrown open 
to white settlement, and the way opened for the 
building of The North-'Western Line, the pioneer 
railway into the Hills. 

There must be pioneer railways as well as pioneer 
explorers, and as soon as the development of the 
region justified, the Xoith-Wostern Line pushed into 
the heart of the Hills, reaching them in 1885 and 
completing the line to Rapid City in ISSC. and to 
Deadwood and Hot Springs in 18!)0. Thus was the 
entire region made readily accessible to the traveler 



from Omaha, Council Bluffs, Sioux City and Chicago, 
St. Paul and Minneapolis, St. Louis and Kansas City, 
and railway trains traversed the gulches where Sit- 
ting Bull's braves had camped and where scouts and 
prospectors had made their courageous way in the 
days gone by. 

This pioneer line of railway has developed steadily 
until now it is one of the great arteries of western 
travel. A new line has also been added to the 
North-Western's direct connection with the Hills, ex- 
tending from Rapid City across Dakota, crossing the 
Missouri at Pierre and forming a direct route to St. 
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, and to Chicago and 
Milwaukee. 

CLLAL4TE. 

The climate of the Black Hills district is equable, 
abounding in &unshiiie; and with a fine natural 
drainage, there is unusual freedom from dampness. 
The air is invigorating, t>eing surcharged with ozone 
from the surrounding pine forests. The elevation of 
about o.OOO feet above the sea level adds to the de- 
sirability of the climatic conditions. The dr.vness of 
the air is particularly marked — so much so, that the 
eye of Ihe visitor is at once attracted by the clear 
and scintillating qualiiies of the atmosphere. It is 
to this especial dryness and purity that the blueness 
of the skies, equal to that of Italy, is attributed. 

The summmer, with its clear days and cool nights, 
extends into the late autumn, and it is not uncom- 
mon for camping parties to remain out in the shel- 
tered nooks of the mountains until late in Octooer. 
Sleeping under blankets is the invariable rule, even 
during July and August; and during the summer a 
day without sunshine is practically unknown. 

The principal rainfall usually occurs eail.v in the 
season, so that one may plan with a reasonable de- 
gree of certainty upon consecutive days and weeks 
of fair weather. 

Because of the height of the Hills and the protec- 
tion afforded by them, the region is never troubled 
with wind storms; only the most moderate breezes 
prevail within the boundaries of this enchanted land. 

TROUT FISHING. 

Tl^roughout the entire Hills country are numbers 
of mountain streams in which there is excellent 
trout fishing. Brook trout, rainbow and salmon trout 
are caught by the fisherman regularly throughout 
the season, which extends from the first of May to 
the first of November. 

Excellent fishing may be found within a da.v's 
drive of one's hotel and on the upper reaches of the 
Bear Butte, Castle Creek, Big and Little Rapid, 
Spearfish and other streams, picturesque and invit- 
ing places are found where summer camps may be 
made, cabins built and fishing indulged in under the 
most favorable conditions of out-door life. 

HUNTING. 

The mildness of the winter season makes the Hills 
a paradise for the hunter. There are deer, bear, 
wild cats and other big game in season, and pait- 
ridge, pheasants, plover, ducks and geese are fairly 
abundant. For deer and elk the open season extends 
from the first to the thirtieth of November. With 
the excellent protection afforded by the game regu- 
lations now in force, the deer are steadily increasing 
in number, and a hunter of even mediocre ability 
should be able to bag his quota of three. 

One may also find wolves, silver fo.xes, coyotes and 
an occasional bear. 

The season for ducks and geese opens on Septem- 
ber 10th and closes on April 10th. 

HOT SPRINGS, 

Hot Springs and its surroundings call for special 
attention from the visitor to the Black Hills. 

The town, with a summer population of about 
3..")00. is situated at an altitude of 3,400 feet above 
the sea. 

Almost one himdred thermal springs found here 
have formed the central feature of the place for 
more than three centuries; an ancient Indian village, 
it is said, formerly having been located in the valley 
near the site of the present town. 

At the Minnekahta Spring a stone bath tub. moc- 
casin shaped, is shown, which is said to have be- 
longed to the Indians in the days of their suprem- 
acv, when they used the water for their ailments 
without reallv understanding how or why speedy 
cures were effected. The Indians are still fond of 
this spot once their own. and parties of them are 
often permitted to spend a few days here away from 
the reservation, to the great delight of Interested 
tourists and sight-seers.

FACTS ABOUT TENNESSEE. 
Gathered From Literature Sent Out by Railroad Agents AVho Travel in All Regions of This State. 



The markets for all farm products are convenient 
and good. 

The means of reaching markets by rivers and rail 
are ample. 

Farm products bring generally the very highest 
prices when shipped to northern markets, because 
they reach thoss markets early in the season when 
the markets are bare. Two crops of potatoes are 
grown on the same land the same year. 

The winters arc short, the summers long, but 
neither winter cold nor summer heat is as great as 
in the northtrn States. 

Building materials are cheap and abundant. 

Fanners may worii out doors in comfort every 
month in the year, and nearly every day in the 
year. A crop of wheat and a crop of corn may be 
harvested from the same land the same year. 

Wheat frequently sells twice as high as it does 
in the northwest. It usually brings Chicago prices, 
with the freight added. 

Corn, C)ats and hay sell 50 per cent higher usually 
than they do in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio or Michigan. 

MILLION^ OF ACRES WAITING FOR SETTLERS. 

There are 16,000,000 acres in the State unoccupied, 

and await the industry of skilled farmers to become 
the fairest agricultural region on the globe. 

The saine quality of lands that are sold for ten 
dollars an acre in Tennessee will sell for forty in 
Ohio. 

A knowledge of Tennessee, with all its advan- 
tages, is only needed to fill it with the best class 
of immigrants. Every immigrant who settles in the 
State is an.xious to bring his friends. 

There arc large coal and iron fields in the State, 
besides forty-seven other ininerals which exist in 
workable quantities. The recent discovery of im- 
mense beds of phosphate rock makes Tennessee the 
center for the distribution of fertilizers of high 
quality. The use of these by the farmers of the 
State has, in many instances, doubled the yields of 
wheat and several other crops. 

SOMETHING TO SELL EVERY MONTH. 

Diversification of crops is carried on more largely 
in Tennessee than in any other State in the Missis- 
sippi Valley. A good farmer has something to sell 
in market every month in the year. 

The average rainfall in the State of Tennessee for 
the past twenty-five years is fifty-two inches annu- 
ally, and this is distributed in copious quantities 
during the growing season, so there is never a 
failure of crops. 

Stock water and water for domestic purposes may 
be secured upon ever.v farm either by the boring of 
wells, by natural springs, or by the making of cis- 
terns. 

The average number of days between killing frosts 
for the period of twenty-three years was 189. This 
measures the length of the growing season. Corn 
may be planted from March until the middle of 
June, and have ample time to mature when planted 
at the latter date. A crop of cowpeas and a crop 
of wheat may be grown on the same land ever.v 
year with a constant enrichment of the soil. Hogs 
may be tattened on cowpeas at a very low cost. 

ABUNDANT WATER POWER IN ALL PARTS. 

No State surpasses Tennessee in the advantages 
which it offers for a varied manufacturing industry. 
Water powers are numerous in eveiy part of the 
State, but especially on the line of the Nashville, 
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway. White, Warren 
and Coffee counties, on the McMinnville Division, 
are singularly favored in this respect. 

A farmer is not compelled to give half his labor 
in order to make feed enough to take his live stock 
through the winter. 

Crops of all kinds mature earlier in the South, 
and with the excellent facilities for shipment, may 
be sent to the great cities of the North, where they 
will find a scarce and dear market. 

Southern farms, equally as good as those in the 
North, may usually be bought for one-third the 
price, and sometimes less. 

A LAND OF HOMES. 

Tennessee is blessed in everything that goes to 
make happy and perinanent homes. There are no 
blizzards in winter; no simoons in summer; no ter- 
rific wind storms; no epidemics; no scarcity of food; 
plenty of schools; plenty of churches; fruits on every 
. hand; green grass; luxuriant shade trees; beautiful 
brooks and creeks and everything in nature to make 
the home surroundings pleasant, attractive and 
beautiful. 

The healthfulness of the Central Southern States, 



and especially of the upland regions of Tennessee, 

Alabama and Georgia, may be ascertained by re- 
ferring to the low death rate reported for these 
regions in the eleventh census. 

Great Profits. — Upon the land offered for settle- 
ment to immigrants one single crop of tobacco 
grown on four acres of fresh land, cultivated by one 
man, in one year will pay for forty acres of the 
land. A crop of peaches often brings $2UU per acre. 

CROPS AND WEATHER OF WEST TENNESSEE. 

Throughout the West. Northwest and Middle West 
there is now a disposition on the part of farmers to 
dispose of their holdings and immigrate to a milder 
climate. Hundreds of letters come to this office in- 
quiring if there is in the South a section of country 
where staple farm crops are successfully grown; 
where dairying, cattle and hog raising are carried 
on profitably; where peaches, cherries and apples 
are grown as in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and 
where the climate is considered medium, neither too 
hot nor too cold. 

The object of this folder is to furnish just such 
information and to emphasize the advantages of 
^\'eft Tennessee in furnishing precisely the condi- 
tions demanded by those who would grow practically 
the saine products and engage in the same kind of 
farming in which they have been successful in the 
more Northern States. 

West Tennessee enjoys a mild winter; sometimes 
a few inches of snow remain on the ground for a 
short time only. White frosts such as are found in 
November in the Northern States are common in 
West Tennessee during the winter months. These 
mild winter conditions are healthful and are greatly 
enjoyed by those who have '.een accustom.ed to the 
rigorous winters of the North. 

SOUTH MIDDLE TENNT;SSEE. 

The "Plateau Land," the great Central Basin of 
this section, consists of lessening elevations of the 
Appalachian Mountains as they descend toward their 
foothills and are at last succeeded by the more level 
stretches, extending to the shores of the Gulf of 
Mexico. Here we are free from the extremes which 
often render sections undesirable. The winters are 
seldom of a character which are hurtful to man or 
beast; destructive "Northers," which afP.ict disas- 
trously many parts of the West and Southwest, are 
unknown. Throughout this Plateau Region life flows 
peacefully and the years <'ome and go free frona 
those events which, when occurring, make for terror 
and great loss, both of property and life. 

The summers are no hotter than in Illinois, Mich- 
igan or Minnesota; longer only, the heat not nearly 
so intense and certainly never so uncomfortable. In 
point of fact, neither fatal heat attacks nor sun- 
strokes are known. The nights are always cool, 
however hot the day may be. It is to be borne in 
mind that it enjoys elevation, the altitude averaging 
something like 1,000 feet and gives abundant proof 
that at one time it was the bottom of a great lake, 
it being surrounded by a rim or watershed. 

CLIMATE COMBINES SUNSHINE AND RAIN. 

The climate combines simshine and rain, cold and 
warmth, in such proportions as to produce the high- 
est degree of perfection in the greatest number of 
crops. The productions of both the Northern and 
Southern states here meet. It is the climatic happy 
mediun:i of the United States. Just cold enough 
during the winter months to invigorate the physical 
systeiTi, ameliorate the soil and destroy the germs of 
disease. Just sufficient heat in the suminer months 
to produce rapid growth of vegetation and a heavy 
yield in crops. There are but few days during the 
year in which one is prevented from performing in 
comfort out-door labor. 

As to the crops of this region, it may be broadly 
stated that they include every crop grown in and 
incident to the temperate zone. Cotton is widely 
regarded throughout the North as the only crop on 
which the Southern agriculturist relies: it is. prac- 
ticaly, a side issue of this section; while there is a 
large amount raised in this section, i^ is by no means 
the backbone of the farmer's hopes. Corn, oats, rye, 
barley, potatoes, tobacco, wheat, do well. Corn 
comes more nearly being the standard of this county. 
Wheat in some parts yields as much as forty bushels 
to the acre; that amount, however, is above the 
nverage. 

It should be borne in mind that with high farm- 
ing and good culture, the yield of these crops would 
be increased two or three times what is done under 
tlie slip-shod farming as is practiced in some parts 
of the South.

TENNESSEE 

AN OLD STATE WITH WORN-OLT SOILS WHICH CAN BE RENOVATED AND >L\DE HIGHLY 

PROFITABLE 



Dimensions. Length of state, north and south, 
120 miles. Extreme width, 430 miles. Area, 42 050 

square miles. 

History. Immigrants from North Carolina entered 
East Tennessee in 17.J4. Organized as a Territory 
in 1794. Admitted as a state in 1796. Knoxvilfe 
was the capital in 1790-1811; Nashville in 1S12-1S15 
Murfreesville the capital in 1816-1820 and Nashville 
was made capital in 1826. 

Our map shows that this is a long and narrow 
state. Topography reveals that there is much dif- 
ference in the elevations of its various portions, 
and geology indicates that great variety in constitu- 
ents of soil exist between the eastern, middle and 
western parts of the state. 

EIGHT DISTINCT PARTS OF THE STATE. 

Topographically, Tennessee is divided into eight 
quite distinct parts, being the Appalaehian chain of 
mountains on the eastern border. Adjoining on 
the west is the Cumberland table land, and between 
this and the mountains is the Valley of East Ten- 
nessee, one of the most important agricultural re- 
gions. Next comes the Cumberland table land, 
an elevated plateau, 2,000 feet above the sea and 
1,000 feet above the valley of East Tennessee. 
Then next, west of this table land, and extending 
westward to tlie Tennessee River, come the high- 
lands or terrace lands, liaving an elevation of 1,000 
feet above the sea. In the center of these is the 
great central basin resembling the bed of a lake 
which has been drained. 

The soil of this valley is naturally fertile, and 
here can be grown in abundance all the crops 
natural to this latitude. 

Next follows the narrow valley west of and 
sloping to the Tennessee River, to the westward 
of which is the plateau of the Tennessee, another 
naturally rich, easily cultivated soil. The eighth 
and last division is the bottom land of the Missis- 
sippi, a low, flat, alluvial plain, which exhibits rank 
growth of all kinds of agricultural production. 

A W.4JINING TO LAND SEEKERS. 

The home seeker who enters this state in quest 
of land should understand that the naturally fer- 
tile soil in many places in Tennessee has been 
worn out. It was cropped for fifty years before 
the Civil war and, as virgin soil, yielded good 
crops. Along with cultivation of the soil, and very 
poor cultivation by negro slaves, the forests were 
cut away and hundreds of thousands of acres, after 
cutting the trees, was annually burned over to pre- 
vent undergrowth, and develop pasturage, the re- 
sult being that with numerous seasons of drouth 
the timber lands have become barren. 

With the war came on general neglect of the 
cultivated fields, no fertilization was given to the 
land and the crop yield was less and less each 
succeeding year. Then followed the years of im- 
poverishment among all the owners of Tennessee 
land and the cultivating of the soil to get the 
utmost returns from it and give just as little as 
possible back in payment for the meager crops they 
took away. 

Thus, vast areas of Tennessee land has been 
cropped so closely and drained of its last vestige 
of fertility so completely that, no longer worth 
cultivating, it has been abandoned as worthless, 
as is the case in great quantities of other land in 
the old slave-holding states. 

We mention this to warn land seekers that they 
may not be deceived in the purchase of worn-out 
land. We are not cautioning them against buying 
land. We are simply telling them conditions that 
they may be on their guard and pay for this land 
what it is worth and no more. 

HUNT OUT THE POOR SOILS. 

And right in this connection it is well for the 
land seeker to hunt out this run down land and. 
If well located with fair buildings, buy this prop- 
erty and restore the land. Buy it for what it is 
worth and renovate the soil. 

Buy this worn-out land. or. perhaps better, be- 
fore buying open communication either by personal 
visit or by letter with the Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station at the T'niversity of Knoxville. Tenn. 

The authorities of that institution will give the 
land seeker the e.xact facts, where the land is 
which has been abandoned; what it is worth and 
what the instructors connected with that institution 
are doing in the renovation of land in that state. 

It is a fact not generally known that the reason 



of westward emigration is largely because fertility 
of soil in the old larm becomes exhausted and there 
has been a constant endeavor, beginning on the 
Atlantic coast, to get upon more prolific soil — new 
fertile land a little farther west. .-Vnd so the 
westward move has been constantly going forward 
to get new and a little better land further west. 

EMIGRATION TURNING EAST. 

At last the tide of emigration Is beginning to 
turn back and the taking up of old homesteads 
with its exhausted soil is becoming common. 

This change has been largely brought about by 
the Agricultural Experiment Stations which are 
teaching that, through scientific treatment, soils 
exhausted of fertility can be renovated. 

The establishment of the Experiment .Station in 
agriculture had become an imperative necessity. 
It was believed for a long time that the new soils 
of the west could not be exhausted of their strength, 
but it is being discovered that other means of 
tillage must be adopted on all soils that they may 
retain their strength. 

BU*YING EXHAUSTED SOILS 3L4Y BE 
PROFITABLE. 

With the knowledge at hand of how to reno- 
vate soils it is possible for land seekers to buy run 
down and abandoned farms, restore the soil to fer- 
tility again, put old buildings in order, improve 
lawns and grounds upon the premises, make the 
farm profitable and sell at a large profit. The 
renovation of land improvement of old properties is 
a business in which men of enterprise can safely 
and profitably engage. 

By addressing the State University through cor- 
respondence with these institutions, the agents can 
be found who will send the reader a list of cheap 
farms, largely in Eastern states upon which experi- 
ment care is being made to improve the properties. 

HOW SOIL IS MADE. 

When the crust of this earth was being fin- 
ished it was largely a mass of rock. In the thou- 
sands of years of its existence the rains and floods 
have worn these rocks into fine particles whicli set- 
tled into hollows between elevations and made soil 
such that vegetation could be generated and find 
existence in this soil. The vegetation thus grown 
lived its appointed time, died, decayed, and on the 
soil where it grew it has made other soil that 
could produce more vegetation similar to that 
which has grown before. If this decayed vegeta- 
tion was on level surface and not easily washed 
away it made a deep rich soil capable of repro- 
ducing the yield of vegetation for many years. But 
if, as fast as tlie crop has been grown, it has 
been taken away from the land and nothing was 
given back to the soil to aid in reproducing another 
crop the means of reproduction have become e.x- 
hausted and the soil is what we call worn out. 

TECHNICAL TERMS IN GEOLOGY. 

The process of renovating, fertilizing this land 
so that it will yield abundant crops again, we treat 
in another chapter of this work. To get full infor- 
mation on renovating worn out land, write to De- 
partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. In 
considering the subject of renovating worn out and 
exhausted soil we have endeavored to eliminate as 
much as possible the technical, scientific words of 
which geological language is so full. 

In a study of soil, from a scientific standpoint, 
the young farmer immediately runs on to the words 
hvdrochloric, carbonate, sodium, oxide, ferric, alu- 
mina, phosphoric, silicate, carbonaceous, sulphates, 
humus, nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, potash, protein, 
nitrogenous, carbonhydratts, chlorin. carbonic, kain- 
it, sylvinit, muriate, nitrogen, leguminous, phos- 
phate, azotine, denitrification, superphosphates, 
phosphatic. magnesia, potpssic. calcareous. loam, 
oxidization, nitrification, lolomite. silica soluble in 
Nao C03 .".47s. S.".07.">: ferruginous, fossiliferous. chii- 
howee, " silicious lower carboniferous, intercalateil. 
and so many other words with which he is not 
familiar as to verv likely cause him to think that 
the simple fertilizing of his land Is a subject too 
deep for him to understand. 

Under judicious managiment all these exhausted 
Tennessee soils can be made fertile agiin and the 
individual who masters the subject of renovoilns 
worn out soils may find it profitable to make a 
prdfession of soil renovation.

Inducements Offered to New Settlers in Texas 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TEXAS 

With Condensed Important 

Facts Relating to Soil, Prices of Land in Different Parts of the State, Temperature on 
the Gulf Coast and in the Panhandle Region — Future Possibilities. 



Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises. 



People Who Worry about the rapid coming of 
foreign-born population into tlic United States fail to 
comprehend the greatness of this country. This may 
be understood by a little computation, relating to the 
state of Texas. 

To Illustrate there are in this state 26.5,780 square 
miles, multiply by 6-10 acres in the square mile, and 
see the many millions of acres we obtain. Real estate 
ag:ents divide acres, in the cities, into ten lots to the 
acre. This would .give us 1,700.992,200 lots. Assigning 
'.) persons to a lot we could place the whole human 
family of 1.5.000.000,000 people into the state of Texas 
and give each family of nine persons an average city 
lot, 25 by 125 feet in size. 

Of eourse we are not anticipating any such crowd- 
ing of dense population into the state of Texas. We 
are simply using this illustration to show the im- 
mensity in size of this state and demonstrate the fact 
that there need be no concern about this country being 
over-populated in hundreds of years, even if immigra- 
tion continues to come at the rate of a million a year. 

T^Tien the Panama Canal is finished. The fertility 
of soil, warmth of temperature, accessibility to the 
great markets of the world, on the completion of the 
Panama Canal, all conspire to mal^e a population as 
dense as is in Illinois which would make it six times 
greater than it is now, being a state population of 
IS. 292. 710 v.-ith a density of some over 66 persons to 
the square mile. 

While we cannot say how soon that will be it is very 
certain that the population will be several times 
larger than it now is in Texas. 

FIVE DIVISIONS OF TEXAS IN SOEL AND 
CLIMATE 

Geographers divide the state, in topography, into 
five sections, — the eastern, the central, western, 
northern and southern, along the Gulf Coast. 

The first division includes the territory between the 
Sabine and Trinity Rivers in Liberty, Freestone and 
Dallas counties. The Sabine forms the boundary line 
between Texas and Louisiana. Fron^ the Sabine west 
to the Trinity is a distance of from 40 to 100 miles, 
and is mostly a heavily timbered region. 

The soil in this section, on the upland, is a sandy 
loam resting on a clay subsoil. In the valleys it is 
generally a deep vegetable mold, very rich and 
productive. 

The second division comprises the region westward 
from the Trinity River. A distance of 100 and 200 
miles, to the Colorado River, and contains a large 
portion of the wheat lands of the state and extensive 
prairies. The Colorado extends northward through 
the city of Austin, and through Fayette. Bastrop, 
Burnett, Brown, Runnels and Cooke counties, up into 
Martin county. 

The western part of Texas includes the vast terri- 
tory from the Colorado to the Rio Grande Rivers, 
about four- fifths of which is prairie land and is used 
extensively for stock raising. The northern division 
contains the counties along the Red River on the 
north, and is about equally divided between forest and 
prairie and has a yellow loamy sandy soil. 



T>iT.^, ^l \\.°^-c^^% '^'?,'^ U''"" "°''^1^ °f ^^<' (Canadian 
Ri\ ei m the Panhandle Region, comprising Oldtham. 

., '".V^"''^^'"^'-'" ^"'l Roberts counties, is appar- 
ently the sediment of a great lake that is believed to 
have been here m prehistoric times, and is exceed- 
ingly fertile. 

THE DESERT REGION 

The western part of the state comprises a broad 
expanse of desert land destitute of trees and vegeta- 
tion, lying at an elevation of from 2.000 to 4 000 foet 
The principal elevations of the state are the g'uadalune 
Mountams in El Paso, Reeves and Jeff Davis counties. 

THE PANHANDLE 

The Panhandle Region is destined to become the 
abiding place of a vigorous hardv race of people A 
large proportion of crisp, bright, bracing, sunshiny 
days makes it a salubrious and delightful climate in 
which to live. Outdoor work can be carried on there 
almost every day in the year. Sunstrokes are un- 
known, and the nights are always cool. 

While the Panhandle portion of Texas has been 
largly a stock growing region, as time progresses it 
will be proven to have a climate and soil favorable 
for a diversity of crops. 

For several years past excellent vield has been had 
of sorghum, millet, alfalfa, kaflir corn and other 
crops, showing that when attention is given to farm- 
ing, outside of cattle breeding, an excellent return 
may be expected in growing a general variety of 
crops. 

NORTHERN PART OF TEXAS 

As this northern part of Texas and the Panhandle 
country are a legion liable to interest the land seeker 
he should know that in Wheeler county the principal 
crops at present are corn, macaroni, wheat, oats, 
alfalfa and cotton. Fruits and vegetables do well 
and good results have come from growing sugar beets. 
The price of land varies from .$3.50 to .flO per acre. 

In Gra.v county half of the county is in prairie 
lands and the other half in hills and valleys with 
black and sandy soils. 

PRINCIP.4L CROPS 

Well water liere at 30 and 300 feet. Principal crops 
are cotton, Indian corn, wiieat. oats, millet, sorghum, 
and broom corn. Jlelons and vegetables of all kinds 
do well. Lands worth from .?3.50 to ?10 per acre. 

PRICES OF L.VND. 

Prices throughout the state vary from $3 to .?.">0, 
.$1.")0 and .');200 per acre, depending upon location. The 
visitor land seeker must himself determine which is 
the best investment. 

The average rainfall in 1911 as is marked by dis- 
tinct zones and decreases from east to west at the 
rate of five inches per every sixty miles. It is .50 
inches along the eastern border from the Red River 
to the mouth of the Sabine. 2.5 inches through the 
west central region at Xolan and Taylor counties. 1.5 
inches in the Valley of the Pecos River in Pecos and 
Crockett counties and 10 inches in EI Paso county 
and along the southern border of New Mexico.

TEMrEKATUKE IN TEXAS 

The tempernture of Texas decreases about one 
degree every 40 mile« as you pass to the north. Thus, 
while along the Gulf Coast at Galveston and Corpus 
Christ! the average annual temperature is 70, it is 54 
in the Panhandle Region. In the valley of the Rio 
Grande and for a hundred miles inland from the Gulf, 
the lowest temperatures range from 10 to IS above, 
the latter being the lowest at Brownsville, at the 
mouth of the Rio Grande. 

Along the Coast the thermometer seldom registers 
below 20 and one year in five not below 32. Zero 
temperature has not been experienced except in the 
extreme northwestern part of the state where 14 be- 
low has been recorded. 

Over the Central parts of the state the mercury 
falls below 32 only in the months of December, 
January, February and March, and then for not more 
than 28 days all told. 

FIRST lilLLING FROSTS 

Alon.E: the Coast the first killing frost occurs Dec. 
15; in the central and eastern parts of the state Nov. 
15, and in the northern part Oct. l.j. The last killing 
frost occurs in the Coast country about Feb. 5. one 
hundred miles inland Feb. 20, and in other parts of 
the state about March 1. 

The temperature of the Gulf of Mexico has great 
influence, affecting all the southern part of the state. 
The cool breezes from the ocean keeps the tern- 
perature down in summer and up in winter. 

The Gulf breeze blows over two-thirds of Texas ten 
months in the year. By constant changes in the air 
it increases evaporation, rendering the nights cool, 
no matter how hot the days. In January and Febru- 
ary the Gulf winds are displaced by the winter mon- 
soons called "northers." If it were not for these 
"northers" coming down from the Canadian country 
the mercury in Texas would not ever go down to the 
freezing point and the southern part of the state 
would be in the orange and banana belt. 

WHAT CAN BE GROWN IN TEXAS 

In the line of cultivated products the eastern 
division of the state will produce, and that abund- 
antly, everything that can be grown in the southland. 
It will produce all the cereals from wheat to rice, but 
owing to the deversity and quality of its soils it is 
especially adapted to fruit and garden truck. 

THE NATl'RAI. WHEAT REGIONS OF TEXAS 

The northern section of the central prairie and the 
northwestern part of the plains are the great wheat 
regions of the state. To the southwest, in the country 
of the Nueces Uiver where the Coast belt, the prairie 
and the plains merge into a triangle, south of San 
Antonio, is a section seccnd only to eastern Texas, in 
its adaptation to fruit culture and the production of 
garden vegetables. 

The Coast country is the natural home of rice and 
sugar cane. In the central prairie zone, while everj'- 
thing known co mixed farming will do well, cotton 
and corn are at present the staple products. 

The western plains while merely .given to cattle 
ranges are being gradually thrown open for farming 
purposes, the ordinary field crop of wheat, coin, 
broom corn, cotton and such crops being raised to 
advantage. 

CROrS ADAPTED TO TEXAS 

Among crops adapted to the soil and clijnate of 
Texas, cotton is a product admirably adapted to the 
climate, soil and labor conditions of" the south. The 
yield is reasonably certain and the market constant. 

The establisliment of factories in various parts of 
the state for the manufacture of the cotton into 
clothes will soon make a home market that will 
greatly benefit this industry. 

■WTiile Texas is not a wheat state there are 
26.000,000 acres in the state that will give good wheat 
and as time passes it is probable that more and more 
winter wheat will be sown as the crops mature early 
and escapes the dry hot weather of July. 

THE FRUIT BELT OF TEXAS 

The fruit belt of Texas extends from the south- 
west to the northeast across the state. It is now 
definitely known that peaches, apples, pears and 
plums, among the larger fruits, and grapes, straw- 



berries, blackberries and dewberries, among the 
smaller fruits, will flourish in eastern Texas. It has 
been demonstrated also that peaches, apricots, Hgs, 
pliuns and all the smaller fruits, are indigenous to 
the soil and climate of the southwestern part of the 
slate. 

It should not be understood that these are not the 
only regions in Texas where fruit raising can be 
profitably conducted. Orchards are everywhere 
throughout the state and time will reveal by experi- 
ment later how widely the fruit and early vegetable 
zones may be extended. 

We could greatly extend \.his article on the 
advantage of truck growing on the Gulf coast of 
Texas. The Irish potato is planted here in February 
and matures in May. The second crop, the same year 
on the same land is planted in July and matures in 
November. The yield is from 100 to 250 bushels to 
the acre. 

PRICES OF EARLY VEGETABLES 

The Texas grower counts upon $1.00 per bushel for 
his first crop. 

Southwestern Texas is the home of the cabbage. 
It is a winter vegetable and in the mild climate of 
the state it is planted in November and is ready for 
market in mid-winter. The yield is immense. _ 

The profits on cantaloupes and melons run from $100 
to .$2.50 per acre. On onions the profits have some- 
times run as high as JSSOO per acre. The Texas Ber- 
mudas stand very high in the market. 

Much can be said of the great outlook for Texas in 
many respects. With 400 miles of Coast line on the 
Gulf of Mexico, the Red River on the north border 
navigable for 000 miles, the project is being consid- 
ties, and with the Rio Grande on the western border 
navigable for 600 miles, the project is being consid- 
ered of constructing the Intercoastal Canal extending 
from the Rio Grande River at Brownsville to Don- 
aldsonville. on the Mississippi River north of New 
Orleans. This canal between 600 and 700 miles long. 

THIS INTERCOASTAL CANAL 

will unite the bays, lagoons and bayous which lie 
along the coast. This proposed waterway is to be 60 
feet wide and nine feet deep, being of sufficient size 
for use by the most of the Mississippi River steam- 
ers. 

A part of the improved water way system is to 
make the Brazos River navigable for .500 miles up to 
Waco, in Lennan County, the Trinity River navigable 
for 600 miles up to Dallas, in Dallas '~'ounty. the 
Colorado River and others, giving in all, with the 
connections on the Mississippi River and its tribu- 
taries, some 8,000 miles of waterway, the steamers 
on which can penetrate ."00 and 600 miles up into 
the interior of Texa^. To appreciate the magnitude 
of the undeveloped resources of this state it is only 
necessary to study statistics for a little time. 

IMMENSE POSSIBILITIES 

In ISOO there wag raised 78,000 pounds of rice 
along this proposed canal. In 1900 it was SOO.OOO 
pounds, and in 1003 the product was 400,000.000 
pounds, valued at $7,500,000. This means only about 
400,000 acres of rice land in cultivation, whereas 
between the Rio Grande and Sabine Lake there are 
4,000.000 acres of rice land, one-half of which in 
cultivation would yield .$75,000,000 annually. 

ST.4NDING TEMBER IN TEXAS 

The thickly standing timber in the state covets an 
area of 36,000 square miles — an area equal to the 
state of Indiana. About two-thirds of this area is 
covered with pine and hardwood forests spread over 
the balance. 

The rivers that extend northward into the interior 
of the state will bring out this lumber to the Inter- 
coastal Canal to be distributed, it is expected, by 
that canal system to all parts of the country. But 
the people of Texas say why ship the hardwoods 
away? Why not work it into every description of 
wooden ware — furniture, interior building, etc. ? The 
state is waiting for incoming factories to work up 
the hardwoods. 

TEXAS IS YET YOUNG 

It must be remembertd that Texas is yet voung 
and its possibilities but dimly comprehended. It 
was only in 1889 that the first petroleum oil wells 
began to bring revenue to the state bv an output of 
48 barrels of oil. In 1905 the production was 28,- 
136.189 barrels, being one-fifth of the total produc- 
tion in the United States, and comes irom wells in 
several different counties. 



198 



It is only a short time ago when it was discovered 
that artesian wells would (low water. There are 
now some 10,000 square miles of artesian well area, 
and more being found where sinking a well from 650 
feet to 1,100 feet in depth will flow water at the rate 
of from 100 to 1,100 gallons an hour. 

THE REGION FOR GROWING SUGAR CANE 

Millions of acres in Texas are adapted to the 
growth of sugar cane, and this industry will assume 
large importance in this state. 

While immigration is rapidly pouring into Texas, 
lands yet remain ver.v cheap in price. In the central 
prairie region — a section well settled and with a soil 
that cannot be duplicated, except in certain portions 
of the Mississippi Valley. — improved lands can be 
bought for from $1.5 to $.50 per acre, and unimproved 
land can be had from $6 to .$30 per acre, according to 
location in reference to water and rail transporta- 
tion. 

PRICES IN EASTERN TEXAS 

In the eastern part of the state, that part which 
has been settled more than a century — the pic- 
turesque, and perhaps the most fertile part of the 
state, land can be bought for from $3 to $20 per 
acre according to improvements. 

There are tracts of cut-over timber land and pas- 
ture land that can be bought at $2 per acre, and that 
in several portions of the state. There are fruit and 
truck farms which yield an income equal to 100 per 
cent on a land valuation of $100, while the land 
within two miles can be bought for $6 an acre. 

Farms that are paying an income on a capitaliza- 
tion of $50 per acre have for neighbors farms that 
can be bought for $12 per acre. This condition can- 
not long remain. The steady stream of immigration 
will adjust prices to values in a very few years. Un- 
occupied land is always worthless. A speculative 
value may attract to it for a time, but in the end it 
becomes a burden unless it is occupied and made to 
contribute through cultivation. 



LOOK IP THE TRUCK BUSINESS 

♦ v,'^^'' '''i"'! ^^.'^^*^^ goini? into Texas should look un 
the truck business A great change has been made 
and remarkable advancement has been made in the 
truck industry witliin the last few years S.-vrral 
causes combine to produce this. Among these Is 
an educated appetite which calls for peck vege- 
table^, and ripe fruit in mid-winter to be delivered in 
all the great markets of the north. The establish- 
ment of the refrigerator car. fast train service and 
the manufacture of ice in the warm climates, where 
truck can be grown. 

KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO GROW AND SHIP 

Added to this, knowledge has been acquired as to 
how to best grow, pack and ship. Experience has 
taught what will sell best, how shippers can combine 
and co-operate. The railroads, in the meantime de- 
sirous of upbuilding the business, have so arranged 
their schedules of time in fast shipment as to greatly 
facilitate the trucking business. 

PIONEER STATES IN EARLY SHIP3IENT TO 
NORTHERN MARKETS. 

It is not generally understood that the advance 
made in shipping of early fruits and vegetables has 
been wholly built up within a brief time. Virginia 
sent a car of garden truck to the New York market 
May 26, 18S5. South Carolina followed with a con- 
signment April 12. 1S88. A carload of oranges went 
forward to New York from Florida in 1888. Cali- 
fornia has been shipping oranges since 1886 in re- 
frigerator cars. 

The earl.y fruit and truck business, begun only so 
short a time ago. now employs thousands of men. 
women and children, and will expand. Closely fol- 
lowing the early shipment of fruits and vegetables 
comes the canning of surplus products, a business 
which is now giving employment to tens of thousands 
of workmen in the United States. 

The steady growth of all this comparatively new 
and rapidly growing industry forecasts the Tact that 
there will be a steadily increasing demand for the 
land situated in a climate and on a soil that will per- 
mit the growth of that which will supply that 
demand.

Beginnings of Mormonism — ^Founders of the Sect Driven From Point to Point — Death of Joseph Smith — 

Subsequent History of the Mormons. 



In writing history of various States it is interest- 
ing to trace the causes of first settlement of a people 
in any region of the country. 

Sometimes a section of the country is entered by 
pioneers who want a good hunting ground; fre- 
quently by herdsmen who want a large range _fop 
cattle; sometimes by prospectors in search of precious 
metals; frequently by parties who want more polit- 
ical opportunity, and often by associations who want 
religious freedom. 

Mormonism was, and is, one of the religious cults 
in which the followers want no interference with 
their particular faith. Joseph Smith, the originator 
of this phase of religious belief, impressed his doc- 
trine so firmly upon a sufficient number as to enable 
him to found the church of Latter Day .Saints in 
Manchester, N. Y., in 1S30. Sidne.v Rigdon, becoming 
associated with Smith, they went to Independence, 
Mo., and thence to Kirtland, Ohio, where they were 
joined by Brigham Young. 

SMITH RECEIVES A REVELATION 

In 1843 Joseph Smith, who then had one wife, 
received a revelation, he claimed, authorizing pol.vg- 
amy, which caused dissension in the Mormon ranks. 
In " an exposition of Smith and Rigdon, sixteen 
women testified that these leaders had attempted to 
seduce them under the guise of a revelation from 
heaven. Foster and Lane, who printed this expose, 
had their printing office destroyed by the Mormons 
and were compelled to flee to Carthage, 111., where 
they obtained warrants for the arrest of Joseph 
Smith and Ilyrum Smith, his brother. 

This was in Nauvoo, 111., where Joseph Smith and 
his followers had built a city. Smith being mayor of 
the town, commander of a military organization and 
president of the church. 

THE SMITHS ARRESTED AND PLACED IN JAIL. 

The warrants obtained by Foster and Lane caused 
The Smiths to be arrested and lodged in the Car- 
thage jail. On the night of their imprisonment a 
mob atta.cked the jail and inside the building Hyrum 
Smith was shot and killed, and .Joseph, having emp- 
tied the contents of his revolver upon the crowd, 
was shot while attemptins; to escape from a window, 
and fell to the ground dead. This was on June 27, 
1843. 

Brigham Young was appointed to the head of the 



church, and in 1847, like the Boers of South Africa, 
who treked hundreds of miles into the interior of 
their country, to be by themselves, the Mormons 
emigrated into the wilds of the Rocky Mountains 
to enjoy their religion unmolested, and settled in 
the valley of the Great Salt Lake. 

POLYGAIHY AFFIRAIED BY BRIGHAM YOUNG. 

In 1852, nine years after the alleged revelation to 
Smith, Brigham Young athrmed the revelation au- 
thoiizing polygamy, which has been a distinctive 
feature of the Mormon religion until recent years. 

Thus the Mornaons, like many another religious 
organization before and since, were land seekers 
from religious zeal. A quiet, industrious people, 
they constructed the beautiful city of Salt Lake 
planted orchards, beautified and improved the whole 
region where they settled, in agricultural conditions, 
and taught western pioneers, many years ago, the 
possibilities and benefits of irrigation. 

VTXn COLONY OF 140 JIEN AND 3 WOMEN. 

The claim is made that the advance army of the 
Mormons, who arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, July 
24, 1847, included 140 men and three women. These 
were the people who laid the foundation of a city 
which is today the center of a thriving country of 
over a thousand miles in diameter. 

Salt Lake City, which is situated 4,261 feet above 
sea level, is the metropolis of the inter-mountain 
region. Its more important industries are mining, 
agriculture, horticulture, the manufacture of sugar, 
salt refining, brick making, smelting, the manufac- 
ture of mining and milling machinery, and a dozen 
other branches of business connected with the devel- 
opment and reclamation of the arid West. 

THE STATE YET W.\ITING FOR SETTLERS. 

By the report sent out from the general land 
office at Washington there were seen to be, July 1, 
1!I06, over 38,000,000 acres of government land yet 
unappropriated and waiting for homestead settlors, 
in Utah. On a visit to the Government Land OlTico 
at Salt Lake, it will be seen that there are numerous 
fertile valleys in this state where large cities can 
and will yet be built up. 

\t the land office here will be learned also con- 
cerning the irrigation project of the Utah Lake, the 



201 



Utah Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



Bear Lake project and the Strawberry Valley irri- 
gation project. It is probable that a visit into this 
region will disclose to the land seeker many superior 
openings for inN^estment. See Utah in our depart- 
ment of government iirigation. 

But whether or not it is decided, to make Utah a 
permanent abiding place, a journey to Salt Lake City 
will be exceedingly interesting. The city today, 
which in 1^00 had 80,000 population, has a growing 
population, seen in our list of towns, has 132 miles 
of street railway, streets 132 feet wide, with double 
avenues of trees on each side, between which, at the 
roadside, flow clear streams of rippling water, which 
come down from the melting snows of the Wasatch 
mountains which shelter the city to the east and 
north. 

Four years ago, when we visited the place, there 
were here fifteen banks having aggregate deposits of 
$20,000,000; four daily papers, two morning and two 
evening; a splendid water supply; four big pleasure 
resorts, two theaters, five hospitals, three large, 
modern hotels and numerous smaller ones; three 
natural hot spring baths equipped with plunge pools; 
a delightful public park with free music; many fra- 
ternal, social and intellectual clubs — while, when it 
comes to a climate, for those suffering from pul- 
monary diseases, Salt Lake City offers the weak- 
chested a very elixir of life. Those troubled with 
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and obstinate skin ais- 
eases hold Salt Lake in high esteem after having 
taken a course of the hot curative waters that, 
within the city limits, issue scalding from nature's 
caldrons in the bowels of the earth. 

The big Mormon Temple, which cost $3,000,000, 
Immediately arrests the eyes of the traveler on ar- 
riving here, while the Mormon Tabernacle, seating 
12,000 people, is equally interesting. 

THE GREAT SALT LAKE. 

Great Salt Lake is 10 miles from Salt Lake City. 
This lake is supposed to be the last remnant of an 
Immense ocean that once spread itself over all this 
region, the supposition being, inasmuch as latterly it 
has been decreasing in size, that ultimately it would 
completely dry up; but for soine unexplained cause, 
at this writing, the lake is again filling, and before 
the year is over may raise a foot or more in height. 

Salt Lake is about 80 miles long and from 30 to 
50 broad. Its area is 3.000 square miles and its 
waters are 22 per cent salt. 

Utah Lake, 40 miles south of Salt Lake, is 25 
miles long and 13 wide, has an area of 130 square 
miles, and is connected by the Jordan River with 
Great Salt Lake. Sevier Lake, in Millard County, 
another large sheet of water, has no outlet but re- 
ceives from the north, Se\ier River, 150 miles in 
length. Salt and thermal springs in this region are 
numerous. 

BAD SOIL TO BEGIN WITH. 

The soil of the lowlands of Utah is somewhat 
alkaline, extremely sandy in portions, and very dry. 
Much of it, however, has been reclaimed by irriga- 
tion and rendered profitably productive. 

The precipitation of rain on the highlands is suf- 
ficient for vegetation. The annual average tempera- 
ture in spring is 40.20, in summer 73.57, in winter 
30.38. The average annual rainfall is 15.10 inches. 

THE PRINCIPAL INDUSTRY. 

Aside from mining, the principal industry is agri- 
culture, which is conducted in some ten of the great 
valleys of the state. With the extension of irriga- 
tion the cultivated agricultural area will be propor- 
tionately enlarged. In the meantime the mountains 
and high valleys produce an abundance of nutritious 
grasses, in consequence of which a large live-stock 
industry has been developed. 

PRODUCTIONS OF ONE YEAR IN UTAH. 

Among minerals, and to show the various resources 
of Utah, the government report of mineral output, 
in one recent average year, gives the following in- 
come: 

Asphaltum stone $ 92,540 

Brick 311,899 

Brick and tile 544,578 

Coal 1,793,510 

Coal Tar 6,830 

Copper 8,938,496 

Lead 4,882,4.54 

Zinc 196.489 

Mercury 36,000 

Gold .5,140,920 

Silver 6,666.028 

Iron 120,296 



Total mineral income for that one year was $25,- 
980,682. 

For agricultural and manufacturing products the 
lisi was also large 

It should be borne in mind that Utah is compara- 
tively a young state yet, has been isolated from the 
great thoroughfares of travel, has, at the 1900 cen- 
sus, only 3.4 persons to the square mile, has had 
religious prejudice to overcome and an arid climate 
to contend with, yet, in spite of all this, as shown 
by statistics of one year, is in a highly prosperous 
condition with an excellent outlook for the future. 

CONDENSED IMPORTANT FACTS BELATH/g TO 
THE STATE. 

Altitude. — Highest in Utah, Mt. Emmons in the 
Uinta Mountains, in Wasatch Co., 13,694 feet. 

Climate. — Winters usually mild. Summers dry and 
warm, rainfall scanty. Range of temperature be- 
tween summer and winter and day and night often 
very great. At Salt Lake City, average January 
temperature, 28 above zero; July, 76. Extremes, 
warmest, 102; coldest, 20 below zero. Yearly rain- 
fall, 16.2 inches. 

Dimensicns. — Extreme length, north and south, 345 
miles; width, 275 miles, east and west. Area of the 
state, 84,970 miles. 

History. — First explored by the Spaniards about 
1540; settled by the Mormons in 1847, who called 
the region Deseret, and application was made in 
1862 for admission of the territory under the name 
"State of Deseret." The application was refused. 
The Edmunds bill passed in 1882 for the suppression 
of polygarfty and disfranchising polygamous Mor- 
mons met with stubborn resistance and was followed 
by a bill in 1887 restricting the suffrage and escheat- 
ing a large amount of Mormon property, real and 
personal. This led the Mormons in 1890 to pledge 
themselves to discontinue the practice of polygamy. 
After a full agreement to obey the laws of Congress 
T'tah was admitted to the Union as a State, January 
4, 1896. 

San Juan County occupies the southeastern corner 
of the State, with Monticello the county seat. It is 
triangular in shape, the extremes being 100 miles 
north and south and 125 miles east and west. The 
Colorado River forms the west line, and the whole 
legion is desert a/id mountainoMS and far from rail- 
roads. Agriculture is confined to a few small re- 
claimed areas. There is some stock growing and 
some mining, the latter being in the prospecting 
stage. Some gold has been discovered in quartz 
and a number of placers have been found; but up 
to this time, mining has not taken on much impor- 
tance. The belief prevails that the region will ulti- 
mately produce much copper and gold; but investi 
gation has not yet made this certain. Assessed 
valuation, 1910, .$533,475, which includes live stock 
at .$384,700, representing three-fifths of the total 
property of the county. The population is 2,377. 

The principal water courses are the San Juan and 
Colorado Rivers. These, with several of their trib- 
utaries, furnish water for a limited irrigated area. 
The Navajo Indian Reservation occupies the south- 
east corner of the county. The region of the .San 
Juan is wild and picturesque and only pprtially ex- 
plored. It contains many interesting topographical 
features, among which are the Canon of the Colo- 
rado, the great Natural Bridges, and many monu- 
ments of stone that have resisted the erosion of the 
centuries. Much effort is being made to have the 
Government set apart portions particularly weird 
and picturesque as a National Parte, and the prom- 
ise is that this will ultimately be done. The region 
is now probably the least known of any portion of 
the West and every year something new and inter- 
esting in Nature is being discovered there. Oil 
seepages along the San Juan River have been known 
for years, and thirty drilling rigs were in operation 
January, 1910, and two wells have been opened with 
a liow of thirty-five gallons to 200 barrels each per 
day. The oil has a paraffine base and the indica- 
tions are now that the San Juan region is likely to 
ultimately become a considerable producer of petro- 
leum products. Early in 1911, the development of 
the San Juan oil fields was being carried on at a 
lapid rate, the monthly expenditures being at least 
$30,000. 

THE GREAT SALT LAKE. 

The Great Salt I^ake is counted one of the marvels 
of creation, and much has been the speculation as 
to its origin. There is no mystery about that, how- 
ever. It is all that is left of old Lake Bonneville — • 
the prehistoric sea that once washed over the greater 
portion of Utah and engraved upon the mountain 
side3 three distinct lines as records of its ancient 
levels. In a book entitled "Lake Bonneville," which 
may be obtained from the Department of the In-

Utah Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



tei-ior, Mr. Gilbert, of the United States Geological 
Survey, has elat)orately discussed this old sea and its 
geology. 

The principal valleys of Utah were once covered 
by the waters of Lake Bonneville, and the moun- 
tains in the broken ranges about the center of the 
State were islands on its surface. Geology points 
out that one prinrordial day Lake Bonneville broke 
through the mountain barriers on the north and 
carving out Bear River Canon, emptied into the 
ocean by way of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. 
After that, another and much lower shore line, still 
to be plainly seen, was carved out on the mountains 
by the chisels of the waves, and from that line the 
old lake has been coaxed down by evaporation 
through the centuries, until the present levels of the 
Great Salt Lake were reached. Every now and 
then alarmists threaten Utah with a loss of its dead 
sea. But there is no great fear of that. The 
lake rises and falls as the region is affected by wet 
and dry cycles. In 1843 John C. Fremont drove 
to Antelope Island over dry sand. In ISCS eight 
miles of water divided the island from the shore. 
And thus does the lake reflect wet and dry extremes. 
About 1903 the waters were at low ebb, but since 
then the rains have been plentiful and the water 
I^ne has steadily moved outward until Saltair 
Beach, which five years ago was 2,000 feet without 
the water line, is now 4,000 feet from shore. 

The lake has several inlets, but no outlets. It 
is about seven times the area of the Dead Sea of 
Palestine and carries about the same percentage 
of salt, which varies from 19 to 22 per cent, accord- 
ing to the season of the year. The waters are 
green-hued and so buoyant that the bather floats 
without effort upon their surface. The theory is 
that Lake Bonneville carried about the percentage 
of salt of the oceans, and that gradual concentra- 
tion by the process of evaporation is responsible 
for the extreme density of the present lake. 

The first mention of the lake was by Baron La 
Honton, who, according to vague tradition, visited 
it in 1689, and afterwards told strange tales of 
bearded men who lived in powerful cities on Its 
shores and navigated its waters in boats 130 feet 
long. 

Father Escalante reached Utah Lake in 1776 and 
was told by the Indians of another and larger lake 
to the north — the waters of which were "noxious 
and extremely salt, producing an itching sensation 
in the moistened part." 

Mr. Miller of the Astor Party saw the lake in 
1820, and in the same year Prevost trapi)ed along 
its tributary streams. The credit is, however, gen- 
erally given to Jim Bridger for the discovery of 
the lake. His first view of it was in 1824 from 
the mouth of Bear River, and the accounts he gave 
of it were the first to contain accurate information. 
In 1826 four trappers sailed around it in hide 
canoes, searching for beaver. About 1831 or 1832 
Captain Bonneville examined the region and wrote 
an account of the lake, whereupon Washington 
Irving gave it the name of I>ake Bonneville, which 
it bore until 1843, when John C. Fremont, Kit 
Carson, and others explored it, fixed the latitude 
and longitude, and gave it its present name. Then 
came the Mormons in 1847 and founded Salt Lake 
City, since which time much has been written and 
said of the water-wonder. The accepted area of 
the lake is about 2,500 square miles, and its 
greate.st depth is about thirty-three feet. Nothing 
lives in it except a shrimp no larger than the head 
of a pin; but thousands of sea-gulls sport on its 
waves and have one of its eisht mountain islands 
as a breeding place. Ordinarily the lake is placid; 
but it is subject to sudden storms which lash it 
into fury, and then bathing and boating are diffi- 
cult and dangerous. 

The pleasure of a bath in the lake cannot be 
described. Those who visit it for that purpose 
number nearly one-half million a year. The buoy- 
ant waters bear the bather upon the surface and 
the bath is exhilarating and healthful. Regular 
bathing in the evening, followed by early retiring, 
will overcome insomnia, and because of that, 
nervous and overworked people resort there in 
great numbers. 

The sunsets over the lake are gorgeous beyond 
description. These reach perfection in the summer 
season and are especially vivid when the clouds 
arc massed in the west. Then the sky is aflame 
with every color of conflagration, and the cloud 
castles are bordered with gold and dyed with all 
the tints of rose and purple. The mountains, 
valley, and lake take on the reflection and are 
suffused with a splendor — a delirium of dyes that 
the brushes and the paint pots of all the world 
could never produce. These startling effects are 
attributed by artists to the influence of the sun- 
light upon the saline element in the atmosphere. 
The lake has a marked effect upon the climate 



of the immediate region. It tempers the extremes 
of wmter and summer for a hundred miles around 
and gives a delightful softness and a faint salint 
taste to the air. 

Saltair Beach is the principal 'Dleasure resort It 
IS eleven miles from Salt Lake City and is reached 
by steam road. The patronage of this resort is 
generous and the facilities for enjoyment there 
are numerous. The anticipated improvements for 
the near future are a trolley line from Salt Lake 
a large hotel, and a sea-wall to control the inllow 
of the water and make the shore available for the 
location of summer cottages. An automobile speed- 
way from Salt Lake City is also in contemplation, 
and the tract of level plain between the city and 
the resort is a popular and well adapted field for 
aviation. 

Saltair Beach pavilion is said to be the largest 
for bathing purposes in the world. It stands over 
the waves 4,000 feet from the shore and is of 
Moorish design. The pavilion and other structures 
represent an expenditure to date of .$.').".0,00l). The 
pavilion proper is 1,200 feet long and its extreme 
width 365 feet. The main tower rises 130 feet. 
Trains reach it upon piling and passengers are 
received at the grand entrance. All the pleasures 
usually found at bathing resorts are offered at 
Saltair. There is an interesting Midway, an ample 
space for basket luncheons which are very popular, 
a ship-restaurant of mammoth proportions, and a 
large hippodrome for summer opera, and the pre- 
sentation of spectacular attractions. 

The dancing pavilion on the upper floor is 140 
by 150 feet and will accommodate 1,000 couples. 
Arched over this is a roof similar to that of the 
Mormon Tabernacle. The pavilion is crescent- 
shaped and the horns of the crescent carry more 
than 1,000 drrssing-rooms provided with stationary 
wash-stands and shower-baths. Convenient access 
to the water is had from these rooms. 

Saltair at night presents a magniflcent sight and 
is distinctly visible from the higher portions of 
Salt Lake City. 

SOLID SALT SEA. 

One of the most curious illustrations of nature- 
work in Utah is the solid sea which lies between 
the south shore of the lake and the Deep Creek 
Mountains. Access to this remarkable spectacle 
has, until recently, been made . difficult by the for- 
bidding barriers of the Great American Desert, 
which surrounds it on three sides. Now, however, 
it is crossed by a railroad and is only a three-hour 
rail ride from Salt Lake City. The salt area is 
twelve miles wide by thirty miles long, and was 
formed by wind-driven waves from the Great Salt 
Lake, which little by little deposited their saline 
contents over the low levels of the desert. There 
is not an undulation upon it — not a sign of vegeta- 
tion. It is just a great level, glittering white 
expanse. Engineers compute its salt contents to 
be about 380,000,000 car-loads — enough to salt the 
nation for some time to come after all other sup- 
plies are exhausted. The salt is almost pure and 
has an average depth of twelve feet. From a com- 
mercial viewpoint its value is almost incalculable 
and some time it will be a tremendous endowment 
for the University of Utah, whicli received it from 
the Government under the terms of the Utah 
Enabling Act. The wonders of the mirages of the 
desert are here intensified. Probably no other por- 
tion of the world can produce sucu 'marvelous 
imagery as may be seen every summer day under 
the blistering sun. In the heated air are exaggera- 
tions of every object upon the surface; the tum- 
bleweed blown in front the desert, the carcasses of 
animals that have strayed too far from shore and 
perished from thirst, are all reflected in the mirrors 
of the air, and imagination may easily give the 
presentations forms that range all the way from 
the domes and turrets of an oriental city, to the 
commonest object of every-day life. .\nd the sea 
itself is so duplicated around these creations that 
they seem to be afloat on vast areas of living 
waters. 

OTHER LAKES AND RESORTS. 

I'tah Lake is a fresh water body in Utah County 
with an aiea of about 125 square miles. It is 
convenient to the town of Provo and is much used 
as a pleasure resort and for fishing and shooting. 
The waters have been stocked by the State witli 
black-bass, whitefish, and other food fishes, and 
are drawn upon daily during the open season by 
]irofessinnal fishermen for the markets. Hook and 
lino fishing for bass in this lake is a favorite 
ai,-.usement and myriads of wild ducks feed about 
its shores and furnish shooting for a number of 
gun clubs.

In Home Comforts Like Its Sister State of New Hampshire. For Winter Comforts Nearly the Same 

Description May Be Aiiplied. 



For several generations the trend of emigration 
has been westward. No matter how savage the In- 
dians, how filled the country might be with tliieves 
and cut-throats, how filled the soil miglit be with 
alkali, how dry the climate or sandy the desert — 
"To the West, to the West" has been steadily the 
cry, until the young men of many a prosperous town 
in the East have been induced to leave good homes 
where it would have been much to their advantage 
had they remained. 

In a certain sense this has been all right. Begin- 
ning in a bleak New England region, where land had 
to be cleared of timber, stones to be picked and roads 
to be opened after snow storms, it was natural that 
enterprising youth should seek another clime in 
which to get a living. 

And so the multitude has pressed to the westward 
and taken along the sturdy New England boys. That 
is all well. It was necessary that the West should 
be settled. It has been and it is. Now conies a 
period for reflection. Conditions have changed. 

That old Vermont farm that used to seem so far 
back has seemingly been moved right to the front. 
The daily paper, with all the news of the world, is 
brought to the farm every day. The telephone that 
reaches out to the nearby village store, permits a 
conversation with all the neighbors for miles around 
and all the old acquaintances in Bo.ston, New York, 
and other metropolitan cities. That road that used 
to seem so long has been shortened by the recently 
introduced automobile, and the multitude of people 
from the city who come out so quickly, and so 
easily, fill the old house with gaiety that the old 
times knew nothing about. 

DID NOT KNOW ITS BEAUTIES IN OIR YOUTH 

How delightful is the old farm today! That 
winding, rapid running brook — just a few rods 
away — it used to be a river when we were on the 
old farm, full of speckled trout as it is today. 
And those brooks that come jumping down the 
hillside with some of their sparkling water running 
into the kitchen — all day and all night — clear, 
bright, fresh water and no water tax to pay, and 
no notice from the health authorities advising that 
we boil the water to destroy the germs. 

mant: ways of siaking money 

Sit down upon the broad porch here and con- 
template. There is a maple sugar orchard on the 
place that will give an excellent revenue annually 
from real genuine "Vermont maple sugar." 

There is a bee house where the bees go out, 
come in and deposit the sweets which they gather 
far up the mountain side. They want only enough 
of their honey to carry them through to another 
year. They will give the balance away and will 
be glad if we get a goodly sum for the honey 
we sell. , , 

There is a strawberry field adjoining the kitchen 
garden, from which the children of the nearby 
town pick for us many dollars' worth of berries 
each season. There is an apple orchard that gives 
us a good many barrels of apples every year. And 
so after we have taken the product of our poultry 
yard, and the income from city people who tented 
on our grounds and boarded with us, through the 
summer, we find, putting our sources of revenue 
all together, that we are some hundreds of dollars 
ahead. 

When winter comes, and the great pile of wood 
waits for us, at the end of the house under cover, 
a wood pile gathered from the hillside, after we 
had sold many cords of wood from the timber lot— 
we say, when winter conies, with barrels of apples 
in the cellar, the flour barrel full, bushels of hickory 
nuts and butter nuts gathered from our own fields, 
the sweetest of butter and cream from our own 
cows, the freshest of eggs, the mealiest of potatoes 
raised on our own grounds, with maple sugar, honey, 
pancakes from buckwheat, raised on our land. — we 
repeat, when winter comes, with plenty of money 
made in the past summer permitting us to go to 
some warm climate during the cold weather if we 



choose, we simply decide that we can get more 
pleasure in our cozy home, by the warm fire, eating 
apples, drinking cider, cracking hickory nuts, 
sugaring off our maple sugar, just attending to 
poultry, cattle, getting in wood and sitting by the 
wai'm winter fire, reading the magazines, papers and 
the latest books — we decide we repeat, that all this 
will afford us more real enjoyment than to go 
anywhere away in the winter. 

EXCELLENT VERMONT SCHOOLS 

And as the years go so pleasantly by and our 
children are so well educated in the excellent Ver- 
mont schools, and we get support and a competency 
from our little farm, we rejoice that it was our 
fortune to find a property so low in cost and that 
we got located where we are amid the fresh water 
brooks and the picturesque scenery of Vermont.

ETHAN ALLEN. 

A prominent Vermont man during the revolu- 
tionary period in the United States was Ethan Allen, 
born in Connecticut in 1739, who died in Burlington, 
Vt, Feb. 13, 1789. 

His biographer, in the American Cyclopedia, says: 
About 1763 he settled, with four younger brothers, 
in the township of Bennington, Vt. Previous to the 
revolution there existed a dispute between the col- 
onies of New York and New Hampshire, relative 
to their boundaries, and the debatable land included 
the whole of the present state of Vermont, then 
called the New Hampshire grants. 

Ethan Allen first became conspicuous in the con- 
troversy which grew out of the attempt to enforce 
a New York law. Actions of ejectment being- 
brought against those who held land under grants 
from New Hampshire, Allen was selected, in 1770, 
as agent to represent the settlers, in the litigation 
at Albany. The decision was adverse to them and 
they resolved to resist. They adopted Allen's own 
phrase, "The gods of the valleys are not the gods 
of the hills." The New York authorities wei'e 
everywhere set at defiance. Allen was made colonel 
of an armed force which not only protected the New 
Hampshire grantees, but removed the New York 
settlers. Governor Tryon, of New York, proclaimed 
a reward of $150 for Allen's arrest. 

This state of affairs remained unaltered till the 
revolution. New York maintaining her hostile atti- 
tude, and the Vermonters the possession of their 
farms. In 1775, when war with the mother country 
had become inevitable, the occupation of Ticon- 
deroga was determined on, and the task was con- 
fided to Allen, who set out at once at the head of 
his "Green Mountain Boys," reaching Caselton May 
7, 1775. A party was also detached, under Captain 
Herrick, toward Skenesborough, and another, under 
Captain Douglass, to Panton in the vicinity of 
Crown Point. 

On the morning of May 10 Allen, who had pre- 
Viouslv been joined by Arnold, surprised Ticon- 
deroHja, summoning Captain Delaplace, who com- 
manded the post, to surrender in the name of "the 
great Jehovah and the Continental Congress." By 
this coup de main, 2 officers, 48 rank and file, 120 
pieces of artillery, and a large quantity of small 
arms were captured, and the command of the Green 
Mountains was wrested from the English. Only 80 
Americans were present at the capture. The other 



206 



Vermont Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



enterprises were equally successful, Skenesborough 
and Crown Point being also captured. 

A dispute ensued between Arnold and Allen rela- 
tive to the command, which the latter maintained 
until he was /'elieved by the arrival of the Con- 
necticut regiment, commanded by Colonel Hinman, 
to whom he delivered his conquests. Allen imme- 
diately proposed to the authorities of New York an 
invasion of Canada, which was refused, and he then 
proceeded to Philadelphia, where the Continental 
Congress officially acknowledged his services. 

He next joined General Schuyler's army as a vol- 
unteer, was employed in secret missions to sound the 
views of the Canadians, and rendered valuable aid 
in Montgomery's expedition to Canada, but in an 
unfortunate demonstration against Montreal with a 
small force of American and Canadian recruits, 
made on the persuasion of Major Brown, Sept. 2."), 
1775, he was captured and sent a prisoner to Eng- 
land. A few months later he was sent back to 
America and confined in prison ships and jails at 
Halifax till May 3, 1778, when he was exchanged. 

During most of his captivity he was treated as a 
felon and kept heavily ironed, but for a part of 
1776-7 was allowed restricted liberty on parole. 
Kindly received at Congress and by Washington, he 
was about to enter the military service again when 
the old colonial troubles regarding Vermont were 
revived. 

Allen was now chosen general, and appointed to 
command all the militia of that State. In the 
meantime 16 of the western townships of New 



Hampshire sought annexation to Vermont sendintr

Allen was sent as the agent of Vermont to explain 
to Congress the course of the state. About this 
time the English commanders in America began to 
■meditate the restoration of loya] authority in Ver- 
mont, and while the Vermont claim of seif-govern- 
ment was m abeyance, sought to take advantage of 
the dispute. A tempting offer was made to Allen 
through Beverly Robinson, a well-known torv of the 
time, without any result except that by feigning 
negotiations Allen was able to preserve the neutral- 
ity of the English authorities toward the moun- 
taineers, who were consequently unmolested until 
nearly the end of the war. Before that time he 
removed to Bennington, thence to Arlington and 
subsequently to the vicinity of Oman River, where 
he resided till his death, serving for some time in 
the legislature. 

He was twice married and left a wife and several 
children. In addition to a history of the contro- 
versy between Vermont and New York, a narrative 
of his captivity and various political pamphlets he 
was the author of a work entitled "Reason the Only 
Creed of Man" (Svo, Bennington, 1784). in which the 
Bible and the Christian religion are assailed from a 
purely deistic standpoint. 



VERMONT PRODUCTIONS AND RESOURCES. 



Agricultural Productions. — These include wheat, 
Indian corn, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, 
tobacco, butter, cheese, hops, maple sugar, honey, 
poultry, apples, strawberries and maple molasses. 

Birds. — The birds are those of New England gen- 
erally, besides aquatic fowl which frequent Lake 
Champlain, 

Fish. — Lake Champlain yields large quantities and 
numerous varieties of fish, including muscallonge, 
lake whiteflsh, salmon trout, pickerel, roach, perch, 
and other smaller fish, while the brooks and rivers 
teem with speckled trout. 

Forest Trees. — There are nearly one hundred spe- 
cies of trees and large shrubs. The principal forest 
trees are hemlock, fir and spruce on the mountains, 
pine, oak, beech, sugar maple, hickory, elm, butternut, 
basswood and birch on the lower land, and cedar in 
the swamps. The mountains are generally covered 
with timber or afford good pasturage. 

Green Blountains. The northernmost portion of 
the Appalachian chain, extending from Canada south 
through Vermont. To this State, over which they 
are largely spread, they give its name, from the 
term, nionts verts, mountains green, by which they 
were known to the early French settlers. The 
continuation of the range through Massachusetts 
and Connecticut is also known to geographers as 
the Green mountains, but by the inhabitants of 
those states other names are applied to them; as 
the Hoosac in Massachusetts for that portion lying 
between the Connecticut and Hoosatonic rivers and 
constituting the most elevated portion of the State, 
and the Tetonic mountains for the western part of 
the range along the New York line. These ranges 
extend into Vermont near the Southwest corner of 
the State, and join in a continuous line of hills that 
pass through the western portion of the State nearly 
to Montpelier,

■Live Stock. — As a large proportion of the land is 
better adapted to grazing than to tillage, much at- 



tention has been given to the raising of live stock, 
and the horses, cattle, sheep and swine of Vermont 
are of excellent quality. 

Manufacturing: Industries* — Agricultural imple- 
ments, blacksmithing, boots and shoes, carriages and 
wagons, cars, freight and passenger; cheese, cotton 
goods, flour and grist-mill products, furniture 
leather, lumber, machinery, musical instruments' 
sash, doors and blinds; tin, copper and sheet iron 
ware, woolen goods. 

Marbles and Slate. — Vermont is rich in marble and 
slate. Marble was first quarried at Rutland in 1.S44 
and the quarries there now supply about half of the 
production of Vermont. The marbles obtained are 
the white statuary, the variegated, mcrttled and blue 
The white is not inferior to the Italian. Other mar- 
bles of various colors are obtained in different parts 
of the staie. Thus the Swanton and Isle La Motte 
marble, when polished, is a Jet black; Winooski

VIRGINIA 



Native Soil of Seven Presidents of the United Stat es — First Public Scliool — ^Begrinning of Silli Culture 

in America. 



In history, birthplace of distinguished men and 
Bcenes of important achievement Virginia has been 
prominent in the events of civilization for over 300 
years. 

To assemble a number of people together, to go 
away into unknown America, found a settlement, 
maintain existence, obtain a support from the soil 
and finally grow into a prosperous colony has been 
the ambition of tens of thousands of people in the 
Old Country since the days of Columbus. It was not 
surprising, therefore, when Captain Gosnold, an Eng- 
lishman, who had visited America, told Captain John 
Smith of the possibilities of this new land, that 
Smith should have been enthused with the idea of 
getting together a company of people for the pur- 
pose of exploring the New World and founding a 
colony in a region where the leaders of the expedi- 
tion could be in supreme command. 

FIRST VIRGINIA COLONY. 

With tfiat purpose in view an exprdition, compris- 
ing 105 men, in three vessels, under command of 
Captain Newport, set sail from England Dec. 19, 
1606, and arrived at a promontory of land in the 
James River, Maryland, debarked there, and began 
the building of the town 3Iay 13, 1607. 

The site chosen was on a point of land projecting 
from the north bank of James River about 15 miles 
from its mouth. The encroachments of the river, 
Bince then, have converted the promontory into an 
island, and a portion of the site of the settlement 
lias been entirely swept away. 

RELICS OF THE FIRST SETTLEMENT YET RE- 
MAINING. 

A part of the old tower of a church, believed to 
have been built by the colonists in 1619, and some 
of the tombstones are the only relics of the town 
left in 1907. Besides these on the island there has 
been a private residence. An exposition was held 
in 1907, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of 
the founding of this first settlement, and the rebuild- 
ing and restoration of the old Episcopal church has 
been made as near as may be. so that the tourist 
may find additional attraction in visiting the various 
points of interest hereabouts, which include Fortress 
Monroe, Wiliamsburg, Yorktown, Norfolk, Hampton 
Roads, the Chesapeake Bay, up to Annapolis and 
Baltimore, and the Potomac River, up to Washington. 

NARROW ESCAPE FOR JOHN SMITH. 

All Virginia is historic groimd. At Jamestown, 
July 30, 1619, was held the first colonial assembly 
ever convened in America. Twelve years had gone 
by, since the first settlement, and many events had 

transpired in that time. On one occasion, the story 
goes, John Smith, a leader prominent among the 
whites, had been captured by the Indians, his head 
laid upon a stone, and as the savages were brandish- 
ing their clubs, preparatory to dashing out his 
brains, Pocahontas, a twelve-year-old daughter of 
the Indian chief, Powhatan, threw herself upon the 
captain's body, and her intercession, with her father, 
saved his life. 

When Smith returned to Jamestown he sent her 
presents, and thenceforth she visited Jamestown as 
frequently as she did her father's habitation. Later, 
an acquaintance sprung up between her and an Eng- 
lishman, named Rolfe, and the consent of her father 
and Sir Thomas Dale, the governor of the colony, 
having been obtained, they were married at James- 
town, April, 1613. A peace of many years' duration 
between the English and the Indians was the result 
of this union. 



POCAHONTAS BAPTIZED. 

Before her marriage she was baptized, receiving 
the name of Rebecca. In 1616, with her husband, 
she accompanied Dale to England, where she was an 
object of great interest to all classes of people and 
was presented at court. When Smith visited her in 
London, after saluting him she was so unnerved, she 
turned away her face and hid it in her hands, and 
remained in this position for two or three hours. 
She had been taught to believe that he was dead 
and there is no doubt that her husband was a party 
to the deception, he probably thinking she would 
never marry bini while Smith was living. 

DEATH OF POCAHONTAS. 

Pocahontas prepared to leave England with re- 
gret, but she suddenly died as she was on the point 
of embarking. She left one son, Thomas Rolfe, who 
was educated by his uncle, a London merchant, and 
in after life went to Virginia, where he became a 
person of note and influence. The Boiling, Randolph, 
Fleming, and other families in that state are his 
descendants. 

Eventful liistory followed with the colonists. 
Puritans from England had arrived, were enjoying 
religious freedom, and. on the whole, the colony was 
prospering, when orders were received and laws were 
passed, in 1043, compelling conformity with the 
church of England, followed by fine and imprison- 
ment with those who would not accept. _ This caused 
an emigration from the colony by tlie independents, 
who went to Maryland and New England. 

FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE COLONY. 

In 1643 a public school was opened. Silk culture 
was undertaken ; trade became brisk with England, 
Holland and New England, and in 1649 the colony 
was increased by the arrival of 300 royalist fugitivi s. 
Then followed controversies with England, but, not- 
withstanding political contentions and Indian mas- 
sacres, in 1671 the population was claimed to be 
40,000 with 2,000 black slaves. 

The years passed on. The colonies grew in popu- 
lation and dissatisfaction with the oppressions im- 
posed by the mother country. Patrick Henry was 
reared in Virginia, George Washington was from 
this state, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James 
Monroe, Harrison, Tyler and Taylor, seven presi- 
dents, all of them natives of the State and several 
of them residents — all came from Virginia. 

The revolutionary war history is full of names 
closely identified with gaining the independence of 
America, clear down to the surrender of Cornwallis 
at Yorktown. 

VIRGINIA MADE THE THEATER OF WAR. 

Then came the Civil war, when, unfortimately, 
there was so much pioslavery sentiment in the state 
as to carry for secession. Through this Virginia 
became the theater of many battles and the losses 
to the people were enormous, the desolated proper- 
ties being yet seen on many a side. All of our older 
readers will recognize the familiar words "Rich- 
mond," "Aquia Creek," "Bull Run," "Antietam," 
"Winchester," "Cedar Run," "Shenandoah Valley," 
"Culpepner Court House," "Gettysburg," "Battles of 
the Wilderness," "Siege of Petersburg." "Lee," 
"Sheridan," "Grant" and a host of other great gen- 
erals and brave men, both on the Union and Confed- 
erate side, who left their dead on many a battlefield 
in this state, clear on down through that terrific 
struggle to the final surrender of Lee at Appomattox 
Court House in Virginia.

Virginia Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



And so through all the 300 years of history, from 
the founding- of the first settlement in the United 
States at Jamestown, down to the Jamestown Ex- 
position in 1007, the state has been celebrated for 
great names and great events which have molded 
the destinies of the nation. 

A STATE OF GREAT NATUBAL ADVANTAGES 

Virginia is remarl^able for its many natural advan- 
tages to people who seek the State to get support. 
The Civil war so greatly impoverished many estates 
as to cause their lands to be abandoned to dwarf 
pines and cedars. The soil on those plantations can 
fortunately be renovated by the free use of gypsum 
and marl which, in great abundance, is found in 
the State. 

There are a variety of elevations, soils and cli- 
mates, here. The eastern part of the state, border- 
ing on the Atlantic ocean and Chesapeake Bay, is 
known as the tidewater region, with no elevations 
over 100 feet above sea level. Curiously, while the 
mountain ranges extend across the state, from north- 
east to southwest, the principal rivers flow from the 
northwest to the southeast. Be.vond the tidewater 
region comes a range which follows across the state 
having an elevation of about 400 feet. Westward 
come the foothills of the Blue Ridge, the Blue Ridge 
Mountains and the great valleys between the Blue 
Ridge and the Alleghenies, giving variety of soil, 
climate, and picturesque scenery. 

CHARACTER OF THE SOILS. 

The soil of the tidewater region is a light sandy 
loam, capable of yielding large crops of fruits and 
esculent vegetables, but it has been so greatly worn 
out by superficial cultivation, without manure, that 
many estates, formerly among the finest in the state, 
have been greatly lowered in worth and value. It 
is to these once fertile lands and grand old Virginia 
lionies that the attention of land seekers should be 
directed. The broad verandas are there on those old 
colonial homes, the towering columns, the great 
front doors, the broad, long halls, the massive stair- 
ways and imposing newel posts at the foot of the 
landing, are yet there, in their regal grandeur, as 
they were generations ago, when blacks did all the 
work here, and the aristoeratic old owner of the 
estate was rich in lands and slaves. 

It takes but a few hours' ride from Washington to 
go down into the interior of Virginia and find there 
fine old ancestral homes that can be bought for a 
small fraction of what the buildings would cost that 
are now on the premises. 

EASY TO INVESTIGATE THE OLD PROPERTIES. 

It can readily be seen how the individual of 
enterprise and taste will bring back the landscape 
grounds to their former beauty, the phosphates and 
marls so abundant in the State spread over the land 
bringing back its fertility. The property bought so 
cheaply now in a few years will yield handsome 
returns in fruits and grains and the property will 
regain its former value. 

A brief study of a recent railroad map will show 
that, aside from a good soil, the means of transpor- 
tation by rail, and especially b.v water, to the great 
markets" of the Atlantic Coast are such as to permit 
the quick sale of every agricultural and horticultural 
production at a good price. 

SUPERIOR TRANSPORTATION rACILITIES. 

It is seldom that a state is so abundantly blessed 
with navigable interior waterways and it is rare that 
-a state has within itself so many resources by which 
its inhabitants may get support. Thus profitable 
employment may be fotmd here in oyster cultivation 
on the Chesapeake, fisheries on the coast, lumber in 
the interior, coal and iron mines, entertainment of 
guests at summer resorts, sale of mineral waters, 
production of clay products, lime, salt, gypsum, 
marl, pottery, paints and other industries.

Rockbridge Alum Springs and Rockbridge Baths — 

In Rockbridge County, Va., near Goshen, there are 
5 fountains, brick cottages, a hotel, with fine 
grounds and beautiful scenery. Chronic dyspepsia, 
irritation of the stomach, scrofula and. skin diseases 
are relieved by the waters. Near the springs are 
the Baths, on the shore of North River, amid pleas- 
ing scenery. Iron and carbonic-acid gas enter 
largely into the waters, which are recommended as 
a tonic. 

Rawley Springs, Va. — Nestled in the midst of de- 
lightful scenery, in Rockingham County. 11 miles 
froin Harrisburg, not far from the Luray Caverns, 
these 5 fine mineral springs, at an elevation of 2.0(i() 
feet above tide-water, invite the tourist to a pleas- 
ant retreat. The waters — strong chalybeate — pos- 
sess tonic properties which, with tife bracing moun- 
tain air, invigorates the visitor. 

Richmond, Va. — Like ancient Rome, the beautiful 
capital ot Virginia lays claim to seven hills. The 
city, besides all its natural and architectural advan- 
tages, possesses numerous objects of especial inter* st 
to visitors, including the grave of President Monroi-. 
the famous Libby war-prison, the equestrian statue 
of Washington by the sculptor Crawford, as well as 
Houdons statue of Washington in Revolutionary uni- 
form, the elegant State House, and St. John's 
Church, where Patrick Henry delivered his memor- 
able and eloquent speech on the eve of the Revolu- 
tionary War, in which he said with fervent patriot- 
ism: "There is no retreat but in submission and 
slavery!" 

Old Point Comfort, Va. — This favorite Southern 
bathing and pleasuie resort is three miles each from 
Hampton and Fortress Monroe, near the mouth of 
the James River as it empties into Chesapeake Bay. 
Near by is the Government Home for Soldiers. Surf- 
bathing, steamboat excursions, etc., enter largely 
into the recreations of visitors. 

Natural Bridge of Virginia, in Rockbridge Co. — 
The fissure crossed by the luidge (which is a rock, 
covered with earth) is estimated at a depth of from 
205 to 290 feet. This fissure is about 45 feet wide at 
the bottom and about 90 feet at the top. The length 
of the bridge is about 90 feet: its breadth, in the 
middle (or thinnest part) is about 00 feet; and at 
the summit, about 40 feet thick. .\ portion of this 
thickness is composed of soil, on which large trees 
have grown. The view from the top of the bridge is 
quite extensive and very pleasant, including North 
Mountain and the Blue Ridge. The stream passing 
under the bridge is a branch of the James River, 
called Cedar Creek.

WASHINGTON 



Is called the "Evergreen State" from its extensive 
forests of evergreen trees, including the fir, spruce, 
cedar, pine and hemlock, which cover the mountains 
and seacoast region, and also from the fact that in 
the western part the winters are so mild that the 
grass remains green throughout the year. This great 
state has an area of 69,994 square miles, of which 
3.114 are water, leaving 66,880 square miles of land, 
or 42.803.200 acres — about as much as Ohio and In- 
diana combined. It contains a great variety of sur- 
face, soil and scenery, and has two distinct climatic 
divisions, separated by the Cascade Mountains. West 
of these mountains the climate is as mild as that 
of North Carolina or Tennessee, owing to the infiu- 
ence of the warm Japan current which strikes its 
shores. There are nearly 2.600 miles of railway and 
1,000 miles of navigable watercourses. A large por- 
tion of the surface is still covered with primeval 
forests. Nearly all of the state west of the Cascade 
Mountains is, by nature, a forest country; the most 
important and valuable timber being the red, or 
Douglas, fir. 

The timber districts, where not mountainous, have, 



as a rule, a rich soil, which well repaj's the farmer 
for the labor of clearing the ground. Thus it will 
be seen that there is a great deal of good farming 
land in Washington. There are fertile government 
lands for free homesteads, and railroad lands are 
sold at low prices and on ten years' credit. The 
remarkable variety of resources offered by this great 
state, its peculiarly agreeable and healthful climate, 
its strikingly beautiful landscapes and snow-capped 
mountains, noble rivers, great estuaries of the sea. 
magnificent forests, charming lakes, and fertile 
prairies combine to make it a region particularly at- 
tractive to all who seek new homes in the great 
Northwest. Every settler can find the particular 
character of country best suited to his tastes, and 
the climate best adapted for his health and well- 
being. 

The transportation facilities are abundant, schools 
and churches are numerous, the people are intelli- 
gent and progressive, and property is constantly in- 
creasing in value. The numerous growing towns in- 
vite mercantile, manufacturing, and professional en- 
terprises.

WASHINGTON STATE 



Two Divisions of the State — Each Has Its Tarticular 31erit — Both Described. 



In describing conditions in the State of Wasliing- 
ton one cou.ki All a large space relating to Seattle, 
Tacoma, Olympia and other cities, while description 
of the varied resources of Washington will show 
abundant- reason for emigrating to this State. 

Naturally, with so great a variation in the face of 
the country, and so wide a ditference in climatic 
conditions, the reasons for going to one locality will 
be entirely unlike those which would exist in another 
region. 

TWO DISTINCT PARTS OF THE STATE. 

First, there are two distinct parts of the State, 
the result of the Cascade Mountains, which extend 
from north to the south. This divides the State 
into eastern and Western Washington. The western 
part comprises all the waterway region that borders 
the Pacific for a distance, north and south, of 180 
miles, in which section of the state, with Puget 
8ound. the lakes, bays and rivers, the area covered 
by water is about 3,000 square miles. 

From this broad space moisture is ever rising, 

which floats up to the tall mountains of the Cas- 
cades, and there on those lofty elevations, perpetu- 
ally covered with ice and snow, the moisture con- 
geals, falls there in snow, and leaves very little in 
the cloud to provide moisture for the landscape 
which spreads itself over eastern Washington. 

ROSES BEOOM AT CHRISTMAS. 

In Western W^ashington, which includes the Puget 
Sound country, there is really no winter and almost 
no ice or sno'w. Roses bloom in December and grass 
is green all the year round. Fifty varieties of flow- 
ers have been plucked out of doors even at Christ- 
mas. Winters are warm and moist, summers cool 
and dry. 

In eastern Washington the climate is very differ- 
ent. It is much drier and somewhat colder in win- 
ter, drv and considerably warmer in summer, but 
the nights are always comfortably cool. 

COLORADO CLI3IATE. 

At manv points in eastern Washington Is found 
almost the exact climate of Denver, Manitou and 
the Salt Lake Valley of Utah. 

In some rections of eastern Washington irrigation 
is carried on and enormous fruit, grain and pasture 
crops are raised. 

TIMBER AND PRAIRIE LAND. 

Western Washington is a wooded country. Much 
of the land is covered with a dense growth of the 
tinest trees known in the world. The mainland bor- 
dering Puget Sound is made up of mountain spurs, 
table lands, river valleys and fresh-water and tide- 
water marshes and deltas. These all, except marsh 
and delta, are timbered with unbroken forests. The 
liigher altitudes grow fir, hemlock and spruce. The 
table lands, fir and spruce, and the valleys, fir, cedar, 
spruce, Cottonwood, maple and alder. 

This timber is surpassed in size only by the red- 
wood forests of California. 

The valley lands bordering the rivers and creeks 
are very rich and productive, especially in vegeta- 
bles fruits and succulent grasses. The forests of 
these valleys are fast breaking up before the wood- 
inan's ax and the farmer's plow. The uplands have 
been invaded but little, but where the forests are 
felled rich pasturage follows and in many places 
great veins of coal are found to underlie the surface 
or strike into the hillside. Marsh lands and deltas 
in their native state are overgrown with brush. They 
are easily cleared and reclaimed from overflow by 
dikes and ditches, when they produce the greatest 
tonnage of fine hay, the most prolific yield of oats, 
heavy hops, nice vegetables and fine orchards. 

Eastern Washin'jton as a whole is the valley of 
the Columbia River, as most of the surface is 
drained bv this mighty stream, though there is a 
considerable extent of wooded and partially wooded 
country. The great grain fields of the Big Bend 
District are as level as the prairies of the Middle 



States. Around Spokane is a varied country com- 
prising fine prairie land, also an abundance of tim- 
ber land, especially in the foothills. All tliis land is 
wonderfully productive. Whatever a man wants in 
the way of land he can find and the quality of the 
soil is good almost everywhere. 

NrJrEROUS GREAT RIVERS. 

Several great rivers course their way through 
eastern Washington, their valleys being wide, level 
plains on which, at various points, irrigation Is 
Ijeins, and has been, introduced with great success. 

FRUITS. 

To properly describe tlie fruit-growing industry 
of Washl.igton would fill a large book. Different 
parts of the State vary so mucli in altitude, rainfall, 
quality of soil, etc., that almost any fruits except 
the citrus family will thrive and bear bountiful har- 
vests somewhere. To mention the kinds of fruit that 
do well is almost to name them all. West of the Cas- 
cade Mountains and along Puget Sound are grown 
magnificent specimens of :ipples, peaches, pears, 
quinces, plums, cherries, strawberries and all kinds 
of small fruits and berries. Apples have done won- 
derfully well on both the uplands and the islands. 
Frost never injures the fruit or prevents setting. 
Worm-eaten fruit is almost unknown. 

ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. 

The United States Government is aiding in various 
irrigation projects. In the meantime private corpo- 
rations have entered upon the project of supplying 
irrigation water to residents in certain districts. We 
quote here from the circulars of one of these irriga- 
tion companies in eastern Washington, located in 
the valley of the Yakima River, Yakima County, in 
order that our readers may k.now prices: 

THE PRICE OF LAND. 

The price of land in Yakima County varies ac- 
cording to its character and location. Cheap lands 
may be had for grazing. Wheat farms in the sec- 
tion where irrigation is not necessary may be had 
for from $5 to $20 per acre. In the irrigated valleys 
raw lands with perpetual water rights are on the 
market at from .$30 an acre up to $125. The last 
named figures are for land near the railroad — the 
choicest that is left. Generally speaking raw land 
under the canals can he had for $50 to $75 an acre, 
and $125 an acre will buy the best producing alfalfa 
farms in the valley. Many improved farms within 
10 or 12 miles of the railroad are available at even 
less than $C0 per acre. Some land is selling much 
Itisher than any figures here given, but the high- 
priced land usually is suitable for suburban resi- 
dences or has expensive improvements, such as good 
buildings, bearing orchards or hop yards. 

Terms of sale are usually made upon a basis of 
one-third or one-fourth cash and the balance in four 
or five equal annual payments, with interest on de- 
ferred payments at six or eight per cent per annum. 
An annual fee for maintenance of canal and laterals 
is charged on all the canals. This fee varies from 
25 cents to $1.50 per acre. Yakima lands may seem 
high to farmers who are accustomed to the ruling 
values in the prairie states, but the price of land 
must depend upon its fertility and the class of its 
productions, its proximity to and the excellence of 
its markets — in short, upon its earning capacity, 
and judged by these standards, land in the Yakima 
valley is cheap and not dear. Judging by the history 
of other irrigated districts, Yakima valley lands will 
in a few years be worth $300 to $1500 an acre. 

STOP OFF AND STUDY THE CONDITIONS. 

In going over to the Puget Sound country by way 
of the Northern Pacific railroad it will be well to 
stop at North Yakima, in Yakima County, and see 
for one's I'tlf the results of irrigation. Before going 
obtain from the Great Northern and the Northern 
Pacific their literature relating to Washington. We 
clip the following from one of the irrigation cir- 
culars:

HOW TO 3IAKE A TEN ACRE TKACT PAY ITS WAY IROM THE START. 



"Of course I know It pays better to raise fruit 
than it does to raise hay and corn, but how am I 
to get along until my trees begin to bear?" This is 
the first thought that occurs to the man with small 
capital who is ambitious to increase his income and 
make his way in the world. He has been told that 
it takes from four to six years to get any returns 
from an orchard and the long wait makes it look 
impossible that he should ever become an orchard- 
ist. For the information of such men we have pre- 
pared this schedule, showing just how a man with 
money enough to make his Hrst payment on his 
land and to build him a small house can make 
his land support him from the start and pay for 
the land as well. This has been done many times 
right here irr Yakima. — 

TEN ACRES IN FRUIT INIAKE A MAN 
INDEPENDENT. 

Reserve one acre for house, barn and kitchen 
garden. 

Plant six acres in apples and peaches, alter- 
nate rows, seventy of each kind, or 140 trees to 
the acre, total 840 trees. 

Plant three acres in pears and peaches, alter- 
nate rows, 100 of each kind, 200 to the acre, or 600 
trees. 

Around the young trees plant nine acres in pota- 
toes. The same cultivation required for the pota- 
toes will cultivate the trees. Plant twenty-five 
cherry trees along the road and blackberries and 
raspberries along the fences.

FRUIT GROWING. 

Fruit growing is principally carried on in three 
different sections in western Washington — in the 
islands of the upper Puget Sound, in Island and San 
Juan Counties; in the more southerly portion of 
Puget Sound, embracing the White River and Puy- 
allup Valleys and King and Pierce Counties, and in 
parts of Clark County, bordering on the Columbia 
River. 

In the Island section cherries, strawberries, black- 
berries, raspberries, plums, pears and apples attain 
a size and quality hard to match anywhere, while 
fruit and vegetables of all sorts reach the market 
earlier from this district than from any other part 
of western Washington. 

In the PuvalUip and White River Valleys all the 
fruits mentioned above can be grown, but perhaps 
berry growing is given the greatest prominence. 
During the last six years the crop of berries has 
grown from about 300 crates, which then realized 
only 80 cents a crate, to 20,000 crates in 1!»02. which 
aveVaged $1.50 a crate. The estimated crop for 1903 
was 50.000 crates, and that quantity is expected to 
be doubled this year. From one acre of raspberries 
near Puyallup an income of $500 has been realized 
in a single vear. From two and one-half acres of 
raspberries in the same locality 1.000 crates wore 
gathered in 1003. Land which produces results of 
this kind is not in the market for sale at any price, 
but unimproved land adapted for this purpose in the 
neighborhood of Sumner and Puyallup is worth from 
$100 to $250 an acre. 

In Clark Countv, on the Columbia River, prune 
growing is carried on extensively and successfully. 
There seems to be iust the quality of soil and the 
amount of rainfall needed to produce the best re- 
sults with this crop. At present about 100 carloads 
of prunes are shipped annually.

WEST VIRGINIA 



A State with the Finest of Public Buildingrs Paid For and State Out of Debt 



GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The impression may prevail that it would not be 
possible to take off a slice of territory from the 
northwest corner of old Virginia and get a state, 
the area of which would be of much consequence: 
novertlieless, that was done and our regret is. as 
we write this brief sketch, that we cannot more 
full.v show the numerous public state buildings, the 
educational institutions, the manufactories, the 
hotels and otlier features of public interest which 
abound in this young state. 

SIZE OF WEST VIRGINIA 

But, though only a portion of Virginia was taken, 
it gave the people of West Virginia an area of 
territory comprising 24,713 square miles. To judge 
the size of this the reader has only to understand 
that this area is almost twenty times that of 
Rhode Island, twelve times that of Delaware, five 
times that of Connecticut, three times that of 
Massachusetts, more than twice that of Maryland, 
twice that of Belgium, twice that of Holland, a 
third larger than Denmark, and more than a third 
larger than Switzerland. 

It is seen in this that the piece taken was no 
very small, little .slice either. But that was not all. 
Virginia had passed the ordinance of secession April 
17, 1S61. In the convention which passed the act, 
of the fortv-six delegates, from the territory now 
comprising this state, twent.v-nine voted against 
secession. 

HOW WEST VIRGINIA KEPT OLT OF THE WAR 

A general election in Virginia was called for May 
23 1861, to act upon ratiti* ation of the act of 

secession. A count of the votes from the counties 
comprising the present West Virginia showed, that, 
out of 44,000 votes cast from this territory, 40,000 
were opposed to secession. 

Then followed conventions at Wheeling m which 
provisions were made for forming a new state. 
Application for admission to the Union was made 



to Congress and permission was granted on condi- 
tion that slavery should be abolished in the new 
state. 

EXTERMINATION OF SECESSION ELEMENT 

Tlie result of the definite stand taken by the 
West Virginia people was the driving out of the 
secession element from this portion of the country, 
and the giving to the Union cause of 20,000 soldiers. 
The great beneficial effect was the escape of West 
Virginia from becoming the battle ground of the 
contending forces, while the horrors of war were 
centered on the territory of old Virginia. Beginning 
thus a free state, and pledged to the Union cause, 
the prosperity of the new state has gone steadily on 
ever since tiie day of its birth. Something of its 
wealth and resources is shown in that item relat- 
ing to the state under the head "Productions." 

PROSPERITY ON EVERY SIDE 

Among the evidences of prosperity is a superior 
state home erected in 1883, at a cost of $390,000; 
hospitals for the insane, and an asylum. Miners' 
hospitals, penitentiary, reform schools for boys, and 
industrial schools for girls. University buildings 
and grounds, university preparatory schools at 
Montgomery and at Keyser, state normal school, 
branches of the normal school at Fairmount, West 
Liberty, Shepardstown, Glenville. Athens, school for 
deaf and blind, and two institutes for colored 
students. These schools are nearly all in large 
imposing buildings, and everything about them 
having the latest improvements. 

THE STATE OUT OF DEBT. 

Another matter we wish the landseeker to ob- 
serve, which is, that while this state is evidently at 
the ver.v head in modern public buildings, the state 
is not in debt one dollar! And not only that, but 
the tax rate on each $1,000 Is only 85 cents. Under 
the head of "valuations" it is interesting to see 
this tax rate with states in general.

West Virginia Opportunities in Agriculture and Varied Enterprises 



The prosperity which has come to this state is 
partially explained by the enurmous resources of 

the state. This is seen under the head of "Pro- 
ductions." But it is only partly explained there 
from the fact, that while we mention the revenue 
from a few items the income from minerals alone, 
in one year, is $74,731,376. 

WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE. 

But if this young state can at this age, in her 
history, have all of her public buildings in such fine 
condition, all paid for, and the state be out of 
debt, with only a tax rate of 85 cents on a thousand 
dollars, what of the future? 

Let us investigate for the benefit of the land 
investor and home seeker who contemplates rem.oval 
but is undetermined yet where to go. 

The coal area of West Virginia covers over 16,000 
square miles, the seams of coal in some places 
being 250 feet thick. Great beds of this fuel adjoin 
the Ohio river, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 
and other lines of transportation, convenient for 
shipment. This fuel, in unlimited ainount, which 
brings into the state annually, over $30,000,000, con- 
tains every quality of cannel, splint, coking, black 
and bituminous coal, and all these varieties are in 
thick and easily worlsed veins. 

A GREAT FUTURE COMEVG IN IRON 

Iron ore exists in twenty-two counties; the best 
ores being, according to the state geologist, in 
Grant, Pendleton, Hardy, Pocahontas and Greenbrier 
counties. As yet the people have been so busy 
with other enterprises that the iron industry has 
not been developed, but the supply is here for great 
manufactories when time comes for their establish- 
ment. 

Fire clay and potter's clay is found here in such 
abundance as to bring over $3,000,000 annually into 
the state from the manufacture of clay products. 

There being only comparatively few persons to the 
square mile here, there has been as yet but little 
inducement, and no time to begin the extensive 
manufacture of woodenware. But when piano 
makers, furniture workers and vehicle dealers are 
ready, they should know that there are 11,776,000 
acres, in West Virginia, covering 73 per cent area 
of the state which, at the prevailing price of lumber 
wouJd be worth, it is estimated, more than twelve 
hundred millions of dollars. 

Under the head of "Productions" and department 
of "Manufactures" it is seen that the value of 
manufactured products in West Virginia annually 
is over $128,000,000. 

Our space does not permit us to enumerate fully 
- — but in brief there are in making flour and grist- 
mill products. 730 establishments, 16 glass factories, 
23 factories for car building and repairs, 62 foundry 
and inachine shops, and S3 planing mills.. 

It is difflcult to predict what the leading indus- 
tries will be in the future inasmuch as so many are 
yet waiting on time and capital for development. 

There are some ten points in the state where 
there are sulphur, medicinal and mineral springs. 
Some of these are famous as pleasure and health 
resorts. 

SALT, BRICK AND DR.\IN TELES 

There are numerous salt wells, and salt is just 
beginning: to be made as a marketable commodity. 

Much of the soil is composed of a clay suitable 
for the making of fire brick, sewer and drain tiles. 
With the immense amount of this raw material 
accessible there can be unlimited expansion in this 
industry. 

About two-thirds of the people are engaged in 
agriculture, and with the favorable conditions which 
prevail in Vv'est Virginia this must always be the 
leading: industry of the state. 

By the census of 1000 it was shown that only 
about one-lialf of the agricultural land of the 
state was improved and that over 5,000,000 acres 
are, at this writing, unimproved. 

GREAT FIELD FOR THE TRUCK GARDENER. 

The growth of population in the various indus- 
tries, outside of agriculture is making a local m;u- 
ket for the sale of all Itinds of garden products. 
And the attention of land seekers is especially 
called to the growing opportunities offered in this 
state for market gardeners in the vicinity of the 
towns. 

So rapid has been the growth of demand for fresh 
garden products in the coal and manufacturing towns 
of late in this .state as to increase the sales 413 per 
cent in the past ten years. 



EMMENSE COMING DEM.VND FOR FOOD 
I'RODUtTS 

A writer treating on the subject of market gar- 
dening in West Virginia and the means by which 
the business has been advanced says "this increase 
has been made in an effort to produce vegetables 
and small fruits in the valleys and on the hills, to 
supply not only the toilers in the factories, but the 
more than forty thousand miners who toil beneath 
the hills for those dependent upon them. No other 
American state has a better home market for its 
vegetables — garden products — than West Virginia." 

As has been shown under the head of topography, 
the soils of our river bottoms, composed of the dis- 
integration of the rocks, are extremely fertile and 
especially adapted to the cultivation of garden 
products. The West Virginia gardener, with his 
home market in the coal fields, and manufacturing 
centers, all around him, is not confronted with the 
problem of transportation and storage as are those 
who must ship long distances. 

NATURAI. ADVANTAGES HERE. 

Thus he is not subjected to losses in a glutted 
market -^where railroad traffic and commission rates 
absorb his profit, he receiving small returns for his 
industry. Neither is he subjected to losses because 
of the perishable nature of his crops, for he has 
his regular customers, who are largely the con- 
sumers as well and they need stated supplies at 
regular intervals. Neither does he have the expense 
of insurance. It is estimated that he who produces 
and ships to far-away markets, after paying freights, 
drayage, insurance and commissions, scarcely re- 
ceives forty per cent of the price which the con- 
sumer pays for his vegetables. Not so with the 
West Virginia gardener who sells to the local mar- 
kets around him, directly to the consumer or re- 
tailer, and thus receives the seventy-five to one hun- 
dred per cent of the price of his products. Not in 
thirty years to come will our gardening industry be 
able to supply existing and ever increasing demands 
for their products in the home markets of the coal 
fields, and other centers of industry within the sta^e. 
And when a surplus is created, the great market 
centers of Pittsburg and other cities lie within a 
few hours of their doors. 

As home seekers and investors in land carefully 
Investigate they will find superior opportunities for 
getting support for themselves in West Virginia, 
while rapid increasing population must result in 
greatly advancing values of land.

WISCONSIN 

INFORMATION CONCERNING NORTHERN WISCONSIN LANDS 

In reply to our questions about Wisconsin cut-over timber lands we receive the following: 



College of Agriculture, Madison, Wis. 

The price of "cut-over" lands, i. e., those from 
which the valuable timber has been removed, in 
Northern Wisconsin, ranges from .|5.00 to .$20.00 per 
acre: for lands carrying valuable timber the prices 
range from $10.00 to iSiU.OO. 

Kentucky blue grass, red top and timothy flourish 
in Northern W^isconsin in great profusion. Blue grass 
soon forms a dense sod and timothy, on fertile 
tracts, grows luxuriantly, yielding crops for many 
years without reseeding. Red, alsike and white clover 
flourish, the two former usually giving two cuttings 
a year. Clover does not so often winter kill as in 
the southern part of the state because the ground 
does not thaw out in winter and is usually covered 
with snow. 

Indian corn can be successfully grown over a large 
part of the north on the warmer sandy-loam soils. 
As the country becomes more settled considerable 
crops of corn will be grown. Oats are at home in 
Northern Wisconsin and yield large crops of heavy 
grain. Barley grows well there. Some wheat is 
grown, biit the settler should not rely upon that 
crop. Rye is largely grown and the field or Canada 
pea flourishes to a surprising degree. Already there 
are scores of canning factories in the state canning 
green peas. The yield of ripe peas is from 15 to 30 
bushels or more per acre. They are extremely val- 
uable for feeding stock, especially hogs for producing 
choice bacon and hams. 

Root crops of all kinds flourish. Potato growing is 
already an enormous industry in the north central 
portion of the state, and where the soils are not too 
heavy, this is one of tlie most profitable crops of the 
northern farmer. Cabbages, rutabagas, beets, etc., 
yield large returns of excellent quality. The sugar 
beet grows well in the north and on suitable soils 
carries a very heavy percentage of sugar. 

Dairying is destined to become the great industry 
of our new north. The abundant grasses and clovers, 
the pure, cool waters, the temperate summer climate, 
all combine to this end. The writer predicts that 
Northern Wisconsin will become the greatest cheese 
region in all America. Sheep husbandry is also prof- 
itable. Hogs do well and can be fed upon peas, clover 
and other grains grown by the farmer. 

As to healthfulness, it may be said that there are 
no diseases peculiar to Northern Wisconsin. The 
water is pure and the air invigorating. Malaria is 
unknown. There are no blizzards in the true sense 
of that word. There is abundance of fuel for the 
cutting. Never is there a failure of all crops in any 
one season. Under the worst of possible conditions 
one is sure of abundance of food, fuel and water — 
items not always available to pioneer settlers in 
many parts of the west 

Every land seeker coming to Northern Wisconsin 
should know that this vast district possesses all 
kinds of soil — good, medium and poor. There ire 
many inferior tracts of land in our new north which 
at this time should be severely let alone by the land 
seeker. In some places there are gravelly ridijes 



with a thin, light soil which burns out in dry 
weather. In other places there are swamps too deep 
and miry to be successfully drained. Again there 
are districts where drift bowlders cover the ground 
so thickly that, although the soil itself is good, one 
cannot afford to make a farm at the present time 
Finally there are regions with a coarse-sand subsoil 
On some of these sandy lands there is only a light 
vegetable mold which will give fair crops for two or 
three years and then leave fields in which the loose 
sand will be blown into heaps by the wind and 
profitable cultivation become an impossibility Again 
there are sandy regions covered with a peat or moor- 
land formation. Some of these soils are of doubtful 
agricultural value. In some of the sandy districts 
the sand is of fine particles and suited to profitable 
agriculture. The land seeker should avoid all lands 
of questionable character, since there are numerous 
tracts of good land available at reasonable prices 
One should not take poor lands because they can be 
bought foi- a few dollars less per acre than the 
tracts with a good soil. There are good lands and 
poor lands in each and every northern county. 

The undersigned cannot undertake to inform per- 
sons who write him as to the merits of particular 
tracts. Each separate tract must be seen and 
studied to gain a correct idea of its value. 

The only way to proceed advantageouslv in secur- 
ing a home in our new north is to visit one or more 
seemingly desirable districts. It does not matter so 
much which county one goes into as it does that a 
wise selection be made when one has reached some 
given point. Railroads cross every 'portion of the 
state and the highways are generally laid out. Set- 
tlers abound eveiywhere. The land seeker should 
carefully examine the growing crops in the region 
visited and from them make up his mind as to the 
possibilities of other tracts in the same locality. . It 
should not be forgotten that soils differ sometimes 
on two adjoining farms and sometimes land not 
worth a doll.tr an acre lies only a short distance 
from that which when improved will be worth $."10 
or even more per acre. All such facts come out 
plainly when one studies northern Wisconsin for 
himself. 

The writer believes that no region in the United 
States today offers more favorable opportunities for 
persons with limited means to surely and success- 
fully secure homes and ultimately good farms than 
Northern AVisconsin. .At the same time some land- 
seekers are making serious mistakes by going about 
this matter in an unbusinesslike manner, not giving 
to an important vital matter the thought and care 
it merits. 

Government land oflices are located at Wausau, 
Eau Claire and Ashland. Wisconsin. Government 
lands still unsold are generally of low agricultural 
value.

missioner, State Capitol. Madison. Wis. 

Wisconsin has no Board of Immigration.

WYOMING. 



ONE OF THE RICHEST OF THE UNITED STATES IN NATURAL RESOURCES. 



As the reader will observe by examination of di- 
mensions, this state is more than twice the size of 
Pennsylvania, which is of itself a large state. 

What the ultimate outcome of Wyoming will be, 
when its resources are fully developed, it is impos- 
sible to foresee. In the first place it is a very young 
state. It was admitted to the Union no longer ago 
than 1S90. It is so young yet in being settled that 
at the census of 1900 there was less than one person 
to the square mile, while Pennsylvania had 140 per- 
sons to the square mile, being over 200 years older 
than Wyoming. 

We speak of Pennsylva.iia in comparison because 
Wyoming has several of the natural resources of 



Pennsylvania, though vastly greater. Thus the coal 
area of Pennsylvania covers 470 square miles and 
had an output of coal in 1906 valued at $255,269,507. 
If Pennsylvania coal is worth over $255,000,000, with 
470 square miles of coal area, what will the coal 
output of Wyoming be when the 20,000 square miles 
of coal area is fully developed? 
CLIMATE COMPARED WITH PENNSYLVANIA. 
Climate has very much to do with the growth and 
ultimate development of a region. In speaking of 
the two states, compare the temperature of the lead-

of Pittsburg is 30 above zero, Cheyenne is 25; August,

How Little Villages Start in Wyoming and Become Prominent. 



EASY TO GET STARTED HERE. 

And then it is so easy to get hold here. Coal is 
cheap. Wood is abundant and may be had for 
simply the cutting and hauling. The pure, bracing 
air puts life into the newcomer at once, and he feels 
just like good, active work. After building up a 
large wood pile he goes to the lumber mills and 
buys the material for his house at $7 and $10 per 
thousand. Building stone is plenty and bricks are 
close by. 

Located right in the midst of the irrigated lands, 
where crops are sure and the land owner knows 
what to depend on, it can readily be seen that this 
town, like many others in the State, has a good 
outlook with promise of speedy returns for capital 
invested. 

The agriculturist who is looking for an ideal 
farming: country; cattle and sheep producers who 
are desirous for the most advantageous conditions 
for stock raising; the business man who is seeking 
the new town full of promise, with the growing sur- 



roundmg. country; and those broken in health who 
seek a favorable climate, will find good openings 
right liere m Wheatland. And we might speak of 
rnany other little villages just as approvingly as 
this. The lands are selling here at .$22 and .$;15 per 
acre. Ten years' time is given with equal annual 
payments at G per cent interest. No payment except 
the interest has to be made the second year, which 
gives the settler an opportunity to pay for his farm 
even though his means be limited. 

PLENTY OF WATER. 

A perpetual water right goes with each piece of 
land, and the purchaser of a Wheatland farm cannot 
be deprived of an equal water right with every other 
land holder any more than he can be deprived of 
the land itself. The land and water go together. 
When the lands and water have all been sold, the 
irrigation works will be absolutely under the control 
of those holding lands in the colony.

FACTS OF INTEREST ABOUT WYOUHNG. 



Yellowstone National Park occupies the northwest 
corner of the State of Wyoming and strips of the 
adjacent states — Idaho and Montana. In 1872, by 
Act of Congress, this portion of the Rocky Moun- 
tains was set aside as a national park, "for the 
benefit and enjoyment of the people." 

It is rectangular in shape, flfty-five by sixty-five 
miles in size — the greater dimension running north 
and south; it embraces practically three and one- 
half thousand square miles. Snow-clad mountains 
within and adjacent to the Park range in eleva- 
tion from ten to fourteen thousand feet above sea- 
level; while the Park stage route ascends from 
6,700 feet at Yellowstone Station, to an aUitude of 
8,300 feet in crossing the Continental Divide. No- 
where in the world are there geysers to compare, 
either in magnitude or number, with those in Yel- 
lowstone Park. The terraces and beautiful pools of 
Mammoth even surpass those in New Zealand. The 
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is unsurpassed in 
beauty and coloring; and the Great Falls, at its 
head, is three hundred and sixty feet in height. 

The acting superintendent of the park is the com- 
manding officer of Fort Yellowstone, a four-company 
post. Mounted guards escort the coaches on the 
tour; and scouts are employed to protect the game. 

Hunting is not permitted in the park, but the vis- 
itor may ejoy trout fishing in mountain streams and 
Yellowstone Lake, where it is exceptionally good. 
The animals have government protection. The rock- 
formations and deposits are preserved in their nat- 
ural state. 

The road system, under the direct supervision of 
Government engineers, is one of the best in the 
country. The cost is defrayed by annual Congres- 
sional appropriations, and no pains have been spared 
to make the grades easy, and the roads so wide 
that coaches can pass at pract'cali.y every pomt. 
Steel and concrete bridges span the streams, doing 
away with fords and making .iccessible to the 
tourist many sights heretofore inaccessible. The 
roads are sprinkled and kept constantly in repair. 

PARK ANI3IALS, 

The animals of the Park are objects of peculiar 
interest. No sound of gun or bark of dog is ever 
heard, and the animals, though wild, have become 
so tame that they give only curious notice to tourists 
as they pass. Deer, elk and bear roam at will 
throughout Geyserland. The red squirrel and the 
chipmunk scamper along the roadway, and those 
furry little bundles, the woodchucks, flatten out on 
the rocks and take no heed of your passing. It is 
an everyday sight to see deer and their young by 
the roadside, and now and then you get a glimpse 
of an antlered elk, with his family of cows, swiin- 
ming the streams of (he Park. So much has been 
accomplished by law in robbing man of his terrors I 



to the wild, that all of the animals in the Park, 
except those that — like the mountain lion and sheep 
— frequent places inaccessible to travelers, have well 
nigh lost their fears. 

The bears, some of them wrapped in robes that 
would command a fancy price, come down in the 
evening from their homes in the hills to feed around 
the hotels. The after-dinner entertainment they 
afford to guests is an everyday pleasure. 

EDUCATION. 

Wyoming was the first state to grant political 
rights to men and women, and it is but natural that 
the subject of education should receive the most 
profound attention. The schools of Wyoming are 
second to none, and in each county of the state 
every facility is extended to the children, however 
isolated are their homes, to secure an education. 
Schools are provided where there are even a very 
small number of pupils, and in all large towns are 
good high schools, which fit the young people foi 
the State University. 

The University of Wyoming. located at Laramie, is 
an admirable institution, which offers splendid 
courses in literature, science and art, as well as in 
mining, mechanical and irrigation engineering, agri- 
culture and commerce 

Bulletins are issued by the University from time 
to time on topics of general interest to farmers and 
others, and are sent free upon request to all who 
will apply for them. 

BUFFALO BILL. 

Last Appearance as a Showman. 

A Richmond, Va., newspaper says: 

Richmond, Va., Nov. 1. 1911. — Colonel William F. 
Cody — "Buffalo Bill" to all the world — retired from 
public life tonight. His show was packed off to 
winter quarters and his Indians will return to their 
tepees in what is left of the red man's land, while 
"Buffalo Bill" intends to spend his remaining ye;us 
in the Wyoming Big Horn country, where he help.il 
make American history. So far as public exhibitions 
are concerned he has chased his last Indian. 

During a career which began as a pony express 
rider, led him through more Indian battles than any 
other living white man, and included twenty-eight 
years as a showman. Colonel Cody became known as 
one of the most picturesque figures of American 
frontier life. 

The sobriquet "Buffalo Bill" he earned in the early 
GOs, when he contracted to furnish buffalo meat to 
the laborers building the Kansas Pacific Railroad 
and in less than eighteen months killed 4.2S0 bison.

Wyoming a State Rich in Minerals and Natural Resources 



at Pittsburg, is 74, at Cheyenne it is 07; the warm- 
est at Pittsburg is 103, the warmest at Cheyenne is 
100. The coldest at Pittsburg is 20 below zero, 
while the coldest at Cheyenne is 38 below. In Penn- 
sylvania the annual average temperature is 53.9, 
while in "Wyoming it is 44.0. But the average ele- 
vation of 6,000 feet above sea level makes an air so 
dry as to relieve cold weather of the disagreeable 
tinge of cold, which is experienced in a moist at- 
mosphere. 

The climate here is similar to the moimtaln region 
of Italy and is not severe in winter. There are lew 
cloudy days. Winds sometimes prevail during the 
spring and fall, but cyclones and tornadoes are un- 
known. Snowstorms are usually followed by Chinook 
winds from the Pacific ocean which, with their 
warmth, uncover the pastures, so that live stock get 
the benefit of the grasses cured by the summer sun, 
and as the cured native grasses retain their nutri- 
tion, it enables the stockman to support his stock 
upon the open range with little, and in the case of 
sheep raising, no additional food. But few climates 
are more bracing, healthful or pleasant than the cli- 
mate of the mountain region of the western states. 
The almost constant sunlight is not only pleasant, 
but beneficial from a sanitary standpoint, and it is a 
well recognized fact in the medical profession, that 
certain diseases, notably pulmonary afflictions, are 
much benefited by change from the states of lower 
altitudes to Wyoming or adjacent states. 

Gold, copper and coal mining, petroleum produc- 
tion and raising live stock are the most important 
business interests of the State up to the present 
time. 

RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES. 

The State is destined in the very near future to 
become the richest, in its diversified natural re- 
sources, of any State in the Union. The minerals are 
here in quantity. There are vast coal fields as yet 
unopened and "subject to entry under the LTnited 
States statutes. There is an enormous area of oil 
land, most of which is still open for location. There 
are mountains of iron ore. There is probably more 
copper than in any other state — veins from four to 
twenty-five feet wide, running from 15 per cent to 
70 per cent, and many rich gold-bearing lodes. 

Hot springs abound, which not only equal but 
surpass the famous Carlsbad Springs of Europe. The 
analysis of the waters and the results of their use 
have" demonstrated this to be true. 

BETTER TRANSPORTATION NECESSARY. 

The only thing necessary to make the state all 
and more than is claimed for it is more transporta- 
tion facilities — railroads operated in the interest of 
local development and not solely for trans-continen- 
tal traffic — more capital invested on a business basis, 
and more men of brains, push and honest purpose. 
To all such Wyoming extends a hearty greeting and 
a co-operative hand. 

In Albany County there is over .$2,000,000 invested 
In live stock and just to the south end of the city 
of Laramie are the Acme Cement Company's works, 
which owns a thousand acres of plaster land which 
has a deposit of natural plaster from six to eight 
feet in thickness. The output is about ten cars per 

Large shops are here used for the purpose of pre- 
serving railroad ties by a process which is said to 
prolong their life two and a half times. 

A large quantity of limestone is shipped to the 
beet sugar plants and smelters of Colorado from 
quarries just to the east of Laramie. This limestone 
is the purest discovered in the United States and 
Is practically inexhaustible. It was used some years 
ago in the manufacture of glass. All the other in- 
gredients for the manufacture of glass of a superior 
quality are found at Laramie and it is within the 
realm" of reason to predict that this industry will 
soon be in a flourishing condition at this point. At 
the State Fisherv, located at this point, more than 
a million of small fry are hatched annually and 
distributed among the streams of the state. 

WHY CALLED BIG HORN. 

Big Horn County is named from the Big Horn or 
Rocky Mountain sheep, which abound in the Big 
Horn Mountains, on the east side of the Big Horn 
Basin. It is anticipated that at an early day, among 
other enterprises, a beet sugar factory will be estab- 
lished in this county, 400,000 acres of land being soon 
pla-:-ed under irrigating ditches. All the roots, vege- 
tables, such as potatoes, carrots, rutabagas and foods 
of all kinds thrive excellently well up to 6,500 feet 
elevation. It is not uncommon for beets to attain a 
weight of ten and fifteen pounds and be solid to 
the core. 



HOT SPRINGS HERE. 

The Big Horn hot springs in this county are cer- 
tain to be widely celebrated. From the main spring 
a stream seven feet wide and two feet deep, with 
a temperature of 13o degrees F., flows continually. 
It possesses strong curative properties. 

Carbon County is named from the immense coal 
deposits which underlie the county. The Saratoga 
hot spring waters in this county, having a tempera- 
ture of 135 degrees Fahrenheit, have strong medic- 
inal qualities beneficial to the stomach and kidneys, 
and when bottled is a pure and pleasant water to 
drink. These springs are in an ideal place for a 
summer resort and sanitarium. The streams here 
abound in trout and the region Is waiting the com- 
ing of parties who will utilize the locality for resort 
purposes. 

GREAT SIZE OF VEGETABLES. 

Converse County, named after a prominent cattle- 
man of that nanie, has a record for producing on 
the irrigated lands here several hundred bushels of 
potatoes to the acre; pumpkin and squash which 
reach a weight of 100 and 160 pounds. Coal, iron 
and copper are among the principal mineral prod- 
ucts of this county. Large oil fields are in this 
county and gas has been struck here in commercial 
quantities. 

THE MINERAL PRODUCTS. 

Placer mining is going forward in Crook County. 
Gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, manganese and bitu- 
minous coal are found here also in considerable 
quantity. 

Three improved flouring mills are in Fremont 
County. Coal is here in great quantity; also a num- 
ber of flowing oil wells. 

In Johnson County there are 30,000 acres under 
irrigation and 200,000 acres are susceptible of irriga- 
tion and only await the advent of the industrious 
settler who can here obtain a good home cheap. 
Pasture lands sell for $2; irrigated from .$15 to $25. 
Gold, silver, copper and oil are here in large quan- 
tities, but are not worked yet from lack of trans- 
portation facilities. Water power is also here for a 
hundred factories. 

Cheyenne, the county seat of Laramie County, 
has a population of 14,000; two daily newspapers; 
the capitol building, costing $300,000; postoffice, 
$350,000; Opera House, $80,000; Elks' Home, $30,- 
000; Masonic Temple, $50,000; convent school, 
$50,000. 

In the northern half of Laramie County the Wy- 
oming Development Company has reclaimed a hun- 
dred thousand acres of arid land for the Wheatland 
Colony. Parties wishing to study large and superior 
systems of irrigation and the beneficial results should 
come into Wyoming. Independent of the general 
government, these improvements have been going 
forward in this region for years. With the assist- 
ance of the government every valley and broad pla- 
teau, located lower than a stream, will be given the 
benefit of water supply in regular quantities some 
day in the future. 

That newspaper men, who are abreast of the 
times, great readers and know what is going on, 
are alive to the future possibilities of this state is 
shown in the many newspapers of the state estab- 
lished in small towns in the full belief that the 
towns will be many times larger. This is seen in 
the little town of Wheatland, which has a popula- 
tion of 800 and two newspapers. But these papers 
are on hand to get the advantage and be on the 
ground floor when the town numbers a population 
of 8,000. 

To show how a little village of 800 people in 
Wyoming will push right along in business enter- 
prise, look at the directory of Wheatland. Three 
churches — Methodist, Congregational and Catholic; 
a library and good library building; a telephone ex- 
change "and connections with all towns in Wyoming, 
Colorado. Utah and Idaho; five general stores; drug 
store, two livery stables, two hotels, one bank, a 
harness and saddle manufacturing establishment, 
two blacksmith and carriage shops, five secret or- 
ders, a good hall and modern roller mill with a 
capacity of 125 barrels a day. 

PLENTY OF E3IPLOY1MENT. 

Among the primary reasons for the future growth 
and prosperity of such a town as this Is the fact 
that there is plentv of employment for every person 
at good pay in the business houses or out in the 
field helping to harvest the products grown in the 
sunshine on the irrigated lands.

Wyoming, a Wonderfully Interesting Region to Visit 



CANALS CONSTRICTED. 

The State Land Board has taken especial and 
practical interest in furthering the interest of the 
settlers. The state and national governments afford 
perfect protection for capital invested and to the 
settler for title to his land and the perpetuity of his 
water right. There is no possibility of loss to the 
individual investors or the settlers. The soil, cli- 
mate and altitude of Wyoming are especially adapted 
to the most profitable crops grown by irrigation.

Wyo. All have practically completed their projects 
and sold out their lands. There are. however, sev- 
eral companies which are ready for settlers and 
information in regard to the lands can be secured 
by writing to the following: 

Sahara Ditch Company, Buffalo, Wyo.

There are a dozen other oompanies having proj- 
ects in more or less advanced stages of development 
and some of them will no doubt have lands avail- 
able for contract during the season of lUll. Two 
of the largest irrigation enterprises in the west are 
the Oregon Basin project comprising about 200,00(1 
acres of land in Big Horn County, between Cody and 
Greybull, Wyoming and the Central Wyoming proj- 
ect on the Indian Reservation near Rivcrton in Fre- 
mont Countj', which will reclaim over 300.000 acres. 
At this time propositions are being made to the 
State Land Board for the building of the necessary 
irrig.ation systems and it is hoped that these two 
projects, which are probably the best in the west, 
will be begun during the season of 11)11. By writ- 
ing: to tlie Commissioner of I'ublio Lands, Cheyenne, 
you can secure the biennial report of that depart- 
ment for the period expiring September 30, 1910, 
which will give a full statement of the present con- 
dition of each and every irrigation project. 

CHEYENNE. 

Tlie capital eity of Wyoming: and the county seat 
of Laramie County has a population of 11,320 and 
adjoins Fort Russell, one of the four largest military 
posts in the United States, which has a minimum 
population of about 3.500. An electric railway con- 
nects the Fort with the city. 

For tlie nse of the Fort and the city one of the 
finest gravity water systems in the United States 
has been built embracing five storage reservoirs 
which will afford a pure and abundant water sup- 
ply for domestic irrigation and nianufacturing pur- 
poses. A home building and loan association with 
$500,000 assets has enabled many people of mod- 
erate means to build and own their own homes. 
"The I'lalns," a large hotel which would be a credit 
to any city, wss completed January 10, 1911, and 
represents an investment of $300,000, and several 
other smaller hotels have recently been built in ad- 
dition to those which have heretofore taken care of 
the people, so that in future Cheyenne will be able 
to care for the large tourist travel. One thousand 
skilled mechanics are employed in the Union Pacific 
shops. The State Capitol, the $400,000 Federal 
Building. Catholic Cathedral, Elks' Home, Masonic 
Temple and magnificent church, school and library 
buildings in the city are the source of constant 
admiration to visitors. The Park s.vsteni of Chey- 
enne is a credit to the community. The annual 
Frontier celebration is known wherever the English 
language is spoken and every year attracts parties 
from outside of the limits of the United States. The 
climate of Che.venne and its altitude are the same as 
that of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Surrounding 
the town are excellent roads which extend in every 
direction and which are available for automobile 
travel, affording excellent trout fishing within a 



few hot! rs ride. Cheyenne has many manufacturing 
establishments. Its pressed brick plant is supplying 
millions of brick to the surrounding country. A 
modern packing house offers a ready market for all 
the hogs and cattle of the vicinity. The Govern- 
ment and State £.\periniental I arms show the results

PRELIMINARY REMARKS 



For nearly two centuries after the advent of the 
white man in America farming was confined to a 
narrow strip of land adjacent to the Atlantic; the 
poDulation was sparse, and when a field became 
worn out the near-by woodland was cleared. As 
population increased, the younger generation crossed 
the AUeghenies, beginning the tide of migration 
which has moved westward until the present time, 
but which has now occupied nearly all of the easily 
available lands from the AUeghenies to the Pacific. 
In its westward course this advancing host farmed 
virgin soils for a century. The marvelous develop- 
ment which has occurred in this country during the 
past century was made possible by the abundant 
fertility of the new lands brought under cultivation 
and the consequent abundance and cheapness of 
farm products. 

So long as plenty of fertile land remamed unoc- 
cupied in the West the exhaustion of the older land 
in the East was a matter of concern only to the 
farmers of the older settled communities. But now 
we are confronted by the necessity of tilling soils 
whose ability to produce satisfactory crops has been 
greatly impaired. There is even a perceptible flow 
of immigration from the high-priced lands of the 
Middle West to the depleted lands of the Atlantic 
seaboard. This has been made possible by the re- 
cent remarkable development of agricultural science, 
which has demonstrated the feasibility of restormg 
lertilitv to exhausted soils. Agricultural science is 
also responsible for the present movement from the 
city to the country. The conditions of country lite 
have been alleviated; the farm has been made at- 
tractive bv adding the zest of intellectual occupation 
in the splendid agricultural literature of the day; 
and farming, when intelligently followed, has been 
made profitable, even on lands that were formerly 
unproductive. 

DIFFERENCES IN NATLRAi FERTILITY. 

There is a vast difference in the natural fertility 
of soils. Some do not produce well from the start 
unless special attention is given to making them 
productive; others produce large crops for a short 
time and then rapidly diminish in fertility; while 
others known as strong soils, remain productive for 
many years without attention to their fertility. But 
even the strongast soils will wear out in time unless 
they are intelligently managed. Curiously enough, 
as the tide of migration went westward in this coun- 
try, the settlers found soils of increasing natural 
fertility as thev went, and in each new settlement 
the opinion prevailed that the soil was inexhaustible. 
But even the strong soils of the western prairies 
have now been cropped with grain and abused by 
improper methods of tillage until they show signs 
of approaching exhaustion. 

Fortunately, while the rich soils of the West were 
being depleted of their fertility, the development of 
agricultural science was going forward with rapid 
strides, and, while there is much yet to learn about 
the soil, we now know, in a general way, the steps 
necessarv to build up and maintain soil fertility. In 
fact, soils that were originally only moderately pro- 
ductive, and that have been rendered almost sterile 
by improper methods of farming, can be made richer 
than they ever were. 



NATURE OF THE SOLL. 

In order to understand the methods necessary for 
restoring worn-out soils, let us consider what occurs 
in a fertile soil that is growing a large crop. Imagine 
a cubic inch of ordinary field soil magnified into a 
cubic mile. It would then present very much the 
appearance of a mass of rocks varying froin the size 
of a pea to masses several feet in diameter. Scat- 
tered among these rock masses would be many pieces 
of decaying plant roots and other organic matter, 
resembling rotting logs in a mass of stones and 
gravel. The masses of organic matter would be 
found to contain large quantities of water, and to 
somewhat resemble wet sponges, while every mass of 
rock would have a layer of water covering its sur- 
face. The open spaces between the solid masses 
would be filled with air. 

If a crop were growing on this soil, its roots would 
be found threading their way among the masses or 
rock and decaying roots, and pushing these aside by 
the pressure exerted by the growing root. Froin the 
surface of the growing root, near its tip, small hol- 
low threads (the root hairs) extend into the open 
spaces and suck up the water covering the rock par- 
ticles. The root hairs are not open at the end; they 
absorb the water through their walls. The plant 
food is dissolved in this water, but is usually present 
in exceedingly small quantities. While the plant is 
growing a constant stream of water flows up through 
it and evaporates at its leaves. For every pound of 
growth in dry matter made by the plant, from 300 
to 800 pounds of water flow up through it. 

The plant food substances dissolved in the soil 
water may be divided into two classes, according to 
their ultimate source. 

MINERAL PLANT FOOD. 

Plants in their growth make use of thirteen chem- 
ical elements, nine of which they secure directly 
from the soil. These are called the mineral plant 
foods; they are phosphorus, potassium, calciuin. mag- 
nesium, sodium, iron, silicon, chlorin and sulphur. 
We have already seen that the soil consists mainly 
of small particles of rock. The rock particles are of 
many kinds, but nearly all kinds contain more or 
less potassium, calcium, phosphoric acid, etc. Every 
year the soil water dissolves off a thin surface layer 
from each particle. Plants appropriate this water 
and thus secure mineral plant food. 

Many generations of plants have thus been collect- 
ing their small toll of food from the soil and storing 
it up in their tissues. The amount of plant food 
made ready for plant use during each growing sea- 
son through tlie slow solution of the mineral par- 
ticles of the soil is doubtless supplemented to a con- 
siderable degree by the same kinds of material set 
free from the organic matter also found in the soil- 
that is, the mineral matter originally secured from 
the dissolved minerals, but built into plants during 
some former season, may again be used by other 
plants when the old matter is given an opportunity 
to decay in the soil. These foods derived directly 
from the mineral matter of the soil and indirectly 
from it through the growth, death, decay, and re- 
turn of former crops, are also supplemented in many 
cases by the application of mineral matter in the 
form of commercial fertilizers.

BEST KINDS OF MANURE IN RENOVATING SOIL 

Growing Crops to Plow Under 



NITROGEN COMPOUNDS. 

In addition to tlie nine elements already men- 
tioned, the growing plant requires four other ele- 
ments, as follows: Hydrogen, which it secures from 
water (water is a compound of hydrogen and oxy- 
gen); oxygen, which it secures partly from water 
and partly from the air; carbon, which is secured 
from carbonic-acid gas in the air; and nitrogen. 

Nitrogen is in many respects the most important 
of all the plant-food elements. It is not found in 
appreciable quantities in the rock particles of the 
soil. Ordinarily plants depend for their nitrogen 
entirely on decaying organic matter.. As decay pro- 
ceeds nitrates are formed from the nitrogen con- 
tamed in organic matter. The nitrates are exceed- 
ingly soluble, and unless soon made use of by 
growing crops they are washed out of the soil. 
Nitrogen is therefore usually the first element to 
become exhausted in the soil. 

rortiinately, there are certain species of bacteria 
that can use atmospheric nitrogen, of which there 
is an inexhaustible supply. One family of plants — 
the legumes — has learned to excliange work with 
these bacteria, and these plants are thus easily sup- 
plied with an abundance of nitrogen in a form they 
can use. When these nitrogen-flxing bacteria are 
present in a soil on which a leguminous crop is 
growing, the bacteria invade the roots of the legume 
and live there. Their presence is usually made 
manifest by swellings — the so-called tubercles — on 
the roots of thrifty plants of clover, alfalfa, beans, 
peas, and other legumes. Nitrogen from the soil air 
filters into the roots, where the bacteria appropriate 
it, manufacture an abundance of nitrates, and give 
a portion to the plant in exchange for starch. The 
tissues of leguminous plants become very rich in 
nitrogenous compounds, and when they decay in the 
soil they set free large amounts of nitrates for the 
use of any crop which may be growing at the time. 

The cultivation of leguminous crops is one of the 
most important and econoinical means of maintain- 
ing a supply of nitrogenous plant food in the soil. 
Nitrates may, of course, be supplied in commercial 
fertilizers; but fertilizers containing nitrogen are 
very expensive, and it usually pays better to supply 
nitrogen by growing legumes or by the application 
of stable manure, which is rich in nitrogen when 
properly handled. In good farm practice both stable 
manure and leguminous crops are used as sources ol 
nitrogen. 

SOIL MOISTURE AND HUMUS. 

In order to produce a ton of dry hay on an acre of 
land it is necessar>- that the growing grass pump 
up from that acre approximately 500 tons of water. 
In order to supply this enormous quantity of water, 
the soil must not only be in condition to absorb and 
hold water well, but it must be porous enough to 
permilt water tj flow freely from soil grain to soil 
grain. The presence of large quantities of decaying 
organic matter (humus) adds enormously to the 
\\ater-holding capacity of the soil. One ton of 
humus will absorb 2 tons of water and give it up 
readily to growing crops. Not only that, but the 
shrinkage of the particles of decaying organic mat- 
ter and the consequent loosening of soil grains keep 
the soil open and porous. 

Furthermore, humus of good quality is exceed- 
ingly rich in both nitrogen and mineral plant food. 
The maintenance of fertility may almost be said to 
consist in keeping the soil well supplied with humus. 
Tlie tirst step in renovating worn-out soils is to give 
them an abundant supply of humus of good quality. 
Perhaps the best source of humus is stable manure 
containing both the liquid and the solid excrement, 
especially when the stock are fed rich nitrogenous 
foods. Even a poor quality of barnyard manure, 
which has had much of the plant food leached out 
of it. has considerable value because of the humus 
it makes. 

Another cheap and valuable source of humus, but 
one which must be used understandingly. is crops 
grown to turn under as manure. The legumes are 
especially valuable for this purpose because of the 
nitrogen thes' contain, but other crops, such as rye, 
and even corn sown thick, may sometimes be made 
to supply large quantities of humus of fair quality. 
Crops thus used are called green manures. They 
are more fully discussed farther on (p. 12t. 



SOIL AIR. 

A proper circulation of air in the soil is just as 
important as any other factor of plant growth. 
Nearly hall of the volume of ordinary soils is occu- 
pied by air spaces. The air spaces in the soil wind 
in and out between the soil particles, just as they 
do in a pile of larger stones. It the layer of water 
on the Kurtace of the soil grains becomes so thick 
as to stop the air passages here and there the soil 
IS then too wet tor most crops and needs drainage 
Plants have no special breathing organs, the oxygen 
required in their breathing finding entrance all over 
the surface of the plant. Plant roots must there- 
fore be .supplied with air, and hence the soil must 
be porous enough to permit of free circulation of 
air. A good supply of humus and proper tillage will 
accomplish this result in clay soils. Sandy soils are 
usually too porous, needing humus to help them re- 
tain water. 

Another reason why air must circulate freely in 
the toil is that large quantities of oxygen are re- 
quired to insure proper decay of organic matter to 
supply plant food. Also, carbonic-acid gas is pro- 
duced by the decay or organic matter, and this must 
escape easily to make room for the atmospheric 
oxygen needed in the soil. The movement of air in 
the soil is frequently shown by the bubbles which 
appear at the surface of the soil just after a hard 
rain. As the water soaks into the soil it drives the 
air out, and bubbles may be seen at the surface if 
water enough is present to form them. 

One of the most important objects of plowing is to 
loosen up the soil and mix fresh air with it. 

SUBST.4NCES THRO>^'N OFF IN THE SOIL 
BY GKOniNG PL.INTS. 

Considerable evidence has been accumulated during 
recent years to show that the cause of the failure 
of some soils to produce satisfactory crops may be 
ascribed to unfavorable conditions produced in the 
soils by the plants themselves. It is thought that 
during the growth of the plant certain unknown 
organic substances are given off which, when they 
accumulate in the soil to any extent, are harmful to 
the further growth of plants of the kind that pro- 
duced them. It is possible that some of the benefits 
known to arise from systematic crop rotation may 
be explained on this basis. TheSe harmful sub- 
stances seem to be disposed of rapidly by certain 
soils, usually those in which organic matter is 
readily converted into humus. Other soils, usually 
marked by a lack of the brown carbonized organic 
matter, do not seem to possess this property of re- 
moving harmful plant products to such a degree. 
This idea is in accord with the common experience 
that dark-colored soils, well filled with organic mat- 
ter, are usually very productive. 

In connection with the stud.v of these poisonous 
organic products, it has been found that they may 
be destroyed or at least rendered harmless in a 
variety of ways. Barnyard manure or decaying or- 
ganic matter, such as a green crop of rye or cow- 
peas, turned under has a very marked effect in 
freeing the soil from them. .Vlmost all of the 
common commercial fertilizing materials act more 
or less in the same way. Commercial fertilizers for 
soil improvement have, therefore, another value 
besides adeling plant food. Thorough and complete 
airing of the soil will often destroy or overcome 
these poisonous substances. The beneficial effects of 
plowing and of thorough surface tillage are thus 
e.xplaincd. in part at least, on the basis of the 
thorough aeration secured. When the same crop is 
not grown oftener than every three or four years 
on the same land the injurious substances a crop 
throws off seem to have time to disappear before 
the same crop is grown again: hence the benefit 
from crop rotation. When the soil is well supplied 
with humus there is seldom any trouble from thls 
source. and the same crop may be grown year aft'-r 
year with good yields, though continuous cultivation 
of the same crop may invite injury from certain in- 
sects and fungous diseases which live over in the 
soil or in the remains of the crop. 

EFFECTS OF TIIX.4GE. 

Improper methods of tillage add very greatly to 
the evil effects that result from lack of humus. In 
many parts of the country the land Is plowed only

Treatment of New Land When First Broken 



PLOWING— WHEN TO PLOW— DEPTH TO PLOW 

Effect of Plowing When Soil Is Too Wet 



3 or 4 inches deep. Below the plowed stratum the 
soil becomes sour, densely packed, and unfit for 
plant roots. When such soils are plowed deep and 
this sour packed subsoil is mixed with the upper 
portion, the growth of many crops is greatly re- 
tarded. This has led many farmers to believe that 
deep plowing is ruinous. Some farmers have tried 
to reraedy the difficulty by subsoiling. Tlie subsoil 
plow breaks up the packed layer but does not throw 
it out on top. But while subsoiling: does break up 
the hard layer into chunks it does not pulverize it 
or put humus into it. In most cases work done in 
subsoiling is practically wasted, and it is doubtful 
if it ever pays. A much better method is to plow 
a little deeper each year until a depth of 8 or 10 
inches is reached. This gives a deep layer of good 
soil, particularly if the supply of humus is kept up. 
When new soil, or that which has lain, undisturbed 
for several years, is broken up. it is always best to 
plow deep from the beginning, for the deeper layers 
will be about as fertile as any. except the top inch 
or two. It is wise, too, never to plow the same 
depth twice in succession. In general, fall plowing 
should be from 7 to 9 or 10 inches and spring 
plowing from 5 to 7 inches deep. There are special 
cases in which these rules do not apply, but their 
discussion would take us too far from the purpose 
of this paper. 

We plow the soil in order to loosen up its texture 
and get air into it; also to turn under stubble, 
manure, etc., to make hjamus. Killing weeds is an- 
other object accomplished by plowing. After a soil 
has been thoroughly pulverized to great depths, so 
that there is no danger of turning up packed clay, 
the deeper the plowing the better the crops. But 
the cost also increases with depth, so that ordinarily 
it does not pay to plow more than about 10 inches 
deep. 

Some crops prefer rather a loose seed bed. Millet 
is such a crop. Farmers sometimes plow a second 
time in order to sow millet on freshly plowed land. 
Other crops, such as wheat and alfalfa, prefer a 
fairly compact seed bed; hence, frequent harrowing 
and rolling after plowing is good practice before 
seeding to these crops. Nevertheless, it pays to plow 
the land for them, even if we have to compact it 
again before seeding. The plowing aerates the soil 
and helps to set plant food free. 

EFFECT OF PLOWING SOIL WHEN TOO WT:T 
OK TOO DKY. 

Sand.v soils are usually not injured by handling 
when wet; but the case is different with clay soils. 
A fair Quality of brick can be made from any 
heavy clay soil by working it thoroughly when wet 
and then drying it in the sun. The effect produced 
by working clay soils wet is known as puddling. 
Irrigation ditches in the West are puddled by first 
flooding them to make them muddy and then driving 
bands of sheep along in this mud. This makes the 
bottom impervious to water and prevents loss from 
leakage. If a clay soil is plowed, or even harrowed, 
when too wet it is more or less puddled. In this 
condition it becomes cloddy and impervious to air 
and water. Old roadways that have been thoroughly 
puddled from traffic in all kinds of weather may be 
distinguished In fields many years after they have 
been plowed up and put Into cultivation. 

The proper time to plow l.nnd is when it is just 
moist enough to break up mellow, neither wet enough 
to leave a slick surface where rubbed by the mold- 
board nor dry enough to break up in large clods; 
or, as the southern farmer puts it, when the soil 
has a good season in it. If continued rain follows 
wet plowing, little harm follows; but hot. dry winds 
would soon leave only a mass of unmanageable clods. 
In spring and midsummer plowing, particularly, it is 
of the utmost importance to run the harrow imme- 
diately after the plow. This prevents the formation 
of clods. In late fall plowing, the clods are no 
disadvantage, for they will be broken up by freezing 
and thawing during the winter. 

TERRACING AND SOIL WASHING. 

One of the most serious results that follow shallow 
plowing, at least in hilly regions, is the washing 
away of the soil in torrential rains. In some sections 
particularly in the southern portion of the Appa- 
lachian Mountain region, farmers have attempted to 



counteract this by means of terraces. Much of the 
farm land in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama 
is nothing but a series of stair steps. When terraces 
are properly laid out they do prevent washing, but 
they are a very expensive means of accomplishing 
the end sought. They occupy land that ought to be 
in crops. They seed the land with weeds. When 
improperly constructed, and they usually are, they 
cause great ditches to be washed in the hillsides. 
Besides this they cut the land up into small, irregu- 
lar patches and greatly increase the cost of tillage. 
There is a better way of preventing washing in 
neirly all cases. 

In the ttrst place, where land has been plowed only 
3 or 4 inches deep for several years the subsoil be- 
comes impervious to water and can not absorb a 
heavy rainfall fast enough to prevent its flowing 
over the surface. But when the land is plowed 
gradually deeper until a good depth of loose soil is 
obtained, and particularly when an abundance of 
humus is supplied from grass roots and stubble, or 
from green crops turned under, or, better still, from 
barnyard manure, the soil becomes so porous that 
the heaviest rains cause little or no flowing of water 
on the surfcioe. Striking illustrations of this fact 
are to be found on the farm of Mr. W. L. William- 
son, of .Jackson County, Ga., and on the farm of 
Rev. J. D. Detrich, described in the Yearbook of 
the Department of Agriculture for 1003 under the 
title "A Model Farm." In the Yearbook paper re- 
feried to. illustrations are shown of two fields lying 
side by side, both in rye. The pictures were taken 
within a few feet of each other. In one two large 
ditches had just been filled with dirt. In the other 
there was no tendency to wash. Mr. Williamson's 
farm is located in a region where terracing is very 
general. Since he abandoned cotton culture and 
began dairying he has plowed up all his terraces, 
and his land does not wash. He plows deep and 
manures heavily. But it is possible to accomplish 
similar results, even on a farm largely devoted to 
cotton, by deep plowing and the use of green 
manures to supply humus. 

mPRO\TNG THE SOIL. 

W^e have seen that poverty in soil may be due to 
poor texture, unfavorable structure, lack of humus, 
deficiencies in the amount, form, or proportion of 
plant food, and to the presence of harmful mineral 
and organic compounds. WMth the exception of 
nitrogen, most soils, even those that are very poor, 
usually contain an abundant supply of plant food, 
though sometimes other elements are lacking or are 
present only in those forms that plants can not use. 

To increase fertllit.v we must improve texture and 
add plant food and humus. Tillage may do much to 
improve texture, but tillage alone will not suffice. 
We must add humus. In doing so we add plant 
food, and make the soil more permeable to air and 
water. 

INCREASING THE STOCK OF HUMUS. 

There are three general methods of supplying 
humus to the soil. The first and best is the addition 
of stable manure. When properly managed it adds 
large quantities of both plant food and humus. But 
manure is not always available. When such is the 
case, the best thing to do is to mako it available. 
Raise more forage, keep more stock, and make more 
manure. But this takes time and ca;jital, so that 
other means are sometimes necessary. When stable 
manure is not to be had. we may pl.ant crops for the 
purpose of turning them under, thus adding large 
quantities of humus at comparativ.ely little cost. 
Plowing imder green crops is called green manuring. 
Under certain conditions this is an excellent prac- 
tice. Crops adapted to this purpose and the method 
of using them are discussed farther on (p. 12). 

A third method of adding humus is to grow crops 
like clover and timothy. These crops are usually 
left down for two years or more. During this time 
their roots thoroughly penetrate the soil. Old roots 
decay and new ones grow. When the sod is plowed 
up. more or less vegetable matter is turned under. 
This, with the mass of roots in the soil, adds no 
small amount to the supply of humus. Another ad- 
vantage from the cultivation of clovers and alfalfa 
is found in the fact that they are deep-rooted plants, 
and when their roots decay they leave channels deep

The Careful Saving of All Manures 



HOW TO GET BEST RESULTS IN MANURING 
The Waste of Manure Or, varms 



into the earth, thus aiding in the absorption of rains 
and letting in air to sweeten the soil. 

STABLE MANURE. 

Properly handled, stable manure is by all n/e'.is 
the best remedy for poverty of the soil. Veiy few 
farmers handle manure so as to get even as much 
as half the possible value from it. There is piob- 
ably no greater waste in the world than -n connec- 
tion with the handling of manure by the American 
farmer. Five-eighths of the pl.ant food manu~e 

is found in the liquid pan of it. This is sually all 
lost. Not only is this the case, but the iolids are 
piled beside the barn, frequently under the eaves, 
where rains wash away much of their value. Fer- 
mentation in these manure piles also sets free much 
of the nitrogen to escape into the air. 

The writer has seen few farmers who had no 
apologies to make for their r- <^thods of handling 
manure. He has seen one, howe -r, who believed he 
was getting every particle of value from the manure 
it is possible to get. The farm in question was a 
dairy farm, and the methods used are not applicable 
to all types of farms. The cows were kept in their 
stalls the year around. Every day in the year they 
had either silage or green stuff from the fields. 
They also had enough dry hay to keep the manure 
fi'om beinr. too washy, and what grain they needed. 
Behind each row of eight cows was a ditch 18 
inches wide and 8 to 10 inches deep. This ditch was 
cleaned thoroughly every morning after milking 
hours. After the cleaning, a small quanticy of wood 
ashes was sprinkled in the ditch to dry it; then a 
layer about 1 % inches deep of rotten sod or leaf 
mold was added. Next morning the contents of the 
ditch were lifted into a cart by means of forks, and 
the cart went immediately to the field where the 
manure was scattered. In exceptionally bad weather 
the ditch was sometimes left lor two days. This 
farmer always had a place to put manure. 

This method may not be applicable to all dairy 
farms, but it is the ideal to be followed as closely 
as circumstances will permit. If there is no sod on 
which to haul manure in wet weather, it is well to 
ha\ e a cemented pit under cover, in which to place 
the manure until it can be hauled to the field. 
When the ground is frozen in winter, manure can 
be spread on almost any field. Generally speaking, 
it should be spread on the field next to be plowed. 
The above method of handling manure gets both 
liquids and solids on the land. If any leaching 
occurs, let it be into the soil where the leachings 
will do the most good. Recent investigations indi- 
cate that when liquid manure is applied to the soil. 
the plant food in the manure is absorbed and held 
in the soil, and is not immediately washed out if not 
made use of by the plants. 

GREEN MANURES. 

The practice of plowing under green crops as 
manures is not very general, and we do not know as 
much as we should like to know of the value of 
this method. Some crops do not thrive when sown 
on land into which a green crop has I'ecently been 
plowed. This is particularly true of those crops that 
like a solid seed bed, or which are sensitive to acids. 
When a heavy green crop is plowed under, it goes 
through a fermentation not unlike that which oc- 
curs in a barrel of kraut, resulting in the formation 
of a considerable amount of acid. 

Alfalfa is partioiilarly sensitive to acids, and it 
also requires a compact seed bed. It is unwise, 
seeding to alfalfa. The cereals, particularly wheat 
and rye, do not do well after a green manure. On 
the other hand, potatoes and corn are not seriously 
injured by green manures. In fact potatoes are 
benefited by them, since the resulting acid condition 
of the soil prevents the development of potato scab. 

Generally speaking:, when it is desirable to plow 
In a green crop before fall-sown crops, it should be 
done a month or six weeks before planting time, and 
the soil should be harrowed frequently or otherwise 
compacted. A few good rains will wash out most of 
the acids and aid in compacting the soil. The acid 
may also be counteracted by adding lime 



CRIMSON CLOVER. 

ilongr (he Atlantic coast as far north as New Jer- 
ey and south at least to Georgia, crimson clover 
trequently called German clover, thrives as a winter 
annual. Like all the legumes it stores up much 
nitrogen and greatly enriches the soil in this ele- 
ment. This crop deserves a much wider field of use- 
fulness than has yet been accorded it. In the 
northern part of its territory it should be sown in 
July. In the South. September is supposed to be 
the best time to sow it. It is best adapted to 
sowing in corn or cotton. In sections where it has 
not previously been grown it frequently fails, appa- 
rently from lack of its proper bacteria. It is there- 
fore well to inoculate the seed when it is sown for 
the first time. 

This crop furnishes valuable winter pasture, makes 
good hay if cut when just coming into full flower, 
and is valuable as a green feed in spring. It helps 
to fill the gap in the soiling syslem between green 
wheat afld early corn. Perhaps its greatest useful- 
ness is as a green manure. It may be plowed under 
any time in the spring an* be followed by corn or 
potatoes. 

In this connection, the practice of a farmer near 
Hagerstown, Md., is of interest. Ten years ago he 
began sowing crimson clover in corn at the last 
plowing, covering the seed with the cultivator, and 
using 10 pounds of seed to the acre. In the spring 
the clover was plowed under and another crop of 
corn planted. Ten consecutive crops of corn have 
been taken from this field, a crop of crimson clover 
being plowed under each spring. The yield of corn 
has increased during that time from about 3.5 bush- 
els, in the beginning, to about ."lO bushels at the 
present time. Evidently the practice was a good 
one in this case. 

Those who are not familiar with crimson clover 
should try it on a small scale at first, as there have 
been many failures with it. The following five->ear 
rotation is a good one on stock farms in middle "lati- 
tudes, and shows one way of securing the benefits of 
crimson clover as a green manure: Corn with 
crimson clover sown at last cultivation, corn, oats, 
wheat, clover (common red). ' 

VETCHES. 

The vetches can be made to occupy a somewhat 
similar place as a green manure, at least in the 
South. Prof. E. R. Lloyd, ot the Mississippi Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, reports an instance of 
a cotton grower who uses hairy vetch and cowpeas 
in a unique manner. .\t the beginning he sowt-d 
hairy vetch broadcast in his cotton at the last 
plowing. The next spring the old cotton stalks were 
left standing, the ne\i: rows of cotton being planted 
in the middles, which were bedded up in the usual 
manner. When the vetch had made seed, the stalk 
cutter was run over the old rows and they were then 
plowed out and cowpeas planted in their place. Sub- 
sequent cultivation was between the cotton and the 
cowpea rows. In the autumn the vetch sprang up 
again and grew during the winter, the cowpeas being 
left to decaj- in place. The following spring the 
cotton rows followed the old cowpea I'ows, and the 
vetch was left to seed on the old stalks as before. 
This method reouires that the cotton rows should be 
about 5 feet apart, but the farmer who practices it 
assured Professor Lloyd that his yield of cotton had 
doubled in the three years since the practice was 
started. This method is worth the attention of 
farmers who grow cotton continuously on the same 
land, and this class includes the vast majority of 
cotton growers. 

RYE, 

R.ve is not half appreciated by the American 
farmer. It is very hardy, will grow on the poorest land, 
makes good winter and spring pasture, and if sown 
early enough makes good fall pasture. It Is a good 
soring soiling crop, giving the earliest bite of green 
stuff. It makes a fair quality of hay if cut in 
bloom or before, and its straw ilways sells at good 
prices and makes the best of bedding for cattle and 
horses. It is also an excellent green manure crop

How Frequently Rotate Crops 



FERTILIZERS THAT BUILD UP SOIL MOST QUICKLY 

Valuable Crops in Plowing to Turn Under 



for turning under in early spring. While it does 
not add nitrogen as the clovers do, it makes a great 
deal of humus, and thus improves the texture of 
worn out soils. It will grow in any section that can 
grow any of the small grains. Where corn or pota- 
toes or cowpeas are grown after corn, rye may be 
sort-n in the corn at the time of "laying by," or may 
be sown on the stubble after the corn is cut, and be 
plowed under in the spring for any of the crops 
mentioned. 

COWPEAS. 

The cowpea has been a boon to the farmers of the 
South, and its value is coming to be generally recog- 
nized. During the past few years the demand for 
cowpea seed has exceeded the supply, and high 
prices have resulted. A good way to secure its 
beneticial effect on the soil is to sow it in corn at 
the last cultivation. This practice has become well- 
nigh universal in the South and is extending north- 
ward. This crop may also be sown after wheat, 
oats, or rye, at least from the latitude of Washing- 
ton, D. C, southward, and may be harvested for hay 
in time for another fall crop to be sown. Prof. 
H. J. Waters, of the Missouri Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, has grown cowpeas between wheal 
crops for several years past and increased the yield 
of wheat in a marked degree. 

It seldom pays to turn under a crop of cowpeas 
in the green state. It is better practice to make 
hay of them, feed the liay, and put the manure back 
on the land. As is the case with all legumes, the 
roots of the cowpea crop add a great deal of nitro- 
gen to the soil, and have a marked <. ffect on fer- 
tility. If a heavy green crop of cowpeas is plowed 
under in the autumn it is best not to plant the land 
until the following spring. A very good plan for 
bringing up the fertility of a worn-out field is to 
sow rye in the fall, plow this under in the spring, 
harrow thoroughly, let the land lie a month, and 
then sow cowpeas. Cut the peas for hay and sow 
rye again. A few seasons of such treatment will 
restore fertility to the soil. Fortunately, both of 
these crops will grow on- very poor land. 

MISCELLATs'EOLS GREEN-MANURE CROPS. 

A Imost any crop may be used as a green manure, 
as occasion demands. Those previously mentioned 
are more generally used for this purpose than oth- 
ers. In plowing up clover sod, many farmers, par- 
ticularly on fields most in need of manure, wait 
until the clover is nearly ready to cut for hay 
before plowing, in order to get the additional nitro- 
gen and humus thus produced. Buckwheat is fre- 
quently .grown as a green manure. This crop is 
planted in early summer or late spring and turned 
under in the autumn. Even corn and sorghum have 
been used for this purpose. They produce large 
amounts of humus when thickly planted. Sufficient 
time should be .given after plowing in such rank 
growth to allow the soil to settle and the resulting 
acids to wash out of the soil before plantitig an- 
other crop. In southern California, fenugreek and 
Canadian field peas (the so-called "English pea" of 



the South) are used extensively as winter cover 
crops in orchards. They are then plowed under in 
the spring as green manure. 

TYPES OF FAR:\nNG TH.\T BUILD UP THE 
SOIL QUICKLY. 

The quickest way to build up a worn-out soii 
when barnyard manure is not plentiful is to give it 
a course of treatment like that just described; then 
grow only forage crops, buy grain to feed v/ith them, 
and return all the manure thus produced to the 
land. Dairy farming permits such a system to be 
practiced. No other type of farming builds up land 
so rapidly. 

Another t.vpe that gives fairly quick results is to 
grow a succession of pasture crops for hogs^ keep 
the hogs on these pastures, and feed them a fouith 
to a hall ration of grain. In middle latitudes the 
following system is adapted to this type of farming; 
Grow corn enough for the pigs on part of the farm, 
sowing either cowpeas or crimson clover or rye 1:1 
the corn yearly, to keep up fertility. The two latter 
crops furnish v.'inter pasture for the pigs. On the 
remainder of the farm run the following three-yeai- 
rotation: Sow oats in early spring; follow by rye 
sown early in August; follow this by sorghum the 
following spring; in September or October sow rye 
again after the sorghum; late the ne.xt spring sow 
either sorghum or cowpeas, and begin over again 
with oats the succeeding spring. This may be made 
a four-year rotation by inserting artichokes or 
sweet or Irish potatoes between the August-sown 
rye and the sorghum. If these crops are all pas- 
tured down, the hogs being fed a little grain mean- 
while, the soil will improve.- With such a system, 
at least on clay soils, the hogs must not be allowed 
on the fields when the soil is wet, as they will 
puddle it to such an extent as to do serious injury. 
To avoid this difficulty, there should be an additional 
field of good sod for the hogs to run on in wet 
weather. In sections where alfalfa thrives, hogs may 
be pastured on this crop in summer (in winter also 
in the far South) and fed a little corn. In winter 
such crops as rape and kale may take the place of 
the alfalfa, and the grain feed may thus be in- 
creased. Such a system takes nothing from the land, 
but care must be used not to puddle the soil by 
pasturing in wet weather. There should be a field 
of good sod in reserve for such periods. 

SUMMARY. 

We may sum up the matter briefly tlius: To 
build up and maintain fertility in the soil, feed a 
large part of the crops and return the manure to 
the land. If manure is not available, plow under 
crops grown for the purpose. Plow deep (but do 
not subsoil). Grow leguminous crops for the nitro- 
gen they add to the soil. 

Commercial fertilizers and lime may be important 
means of iinproving the soil, but the fertilizer re- 
quirements of different soils and different crops in 
different seasons are so little understood that we are 
not yet in a position to make positive recommenda- 
tions that are of general application.

Foods for Sheep. 

In the esUNe of several experiments by Da 
ttaumer, a French scientist, it was found that 1,080 
pounds of different kinds of foods produced the 
following results. It will be seen by examination 
that wheat proved the most valuable food, barley 
came next, while mangolds stood lowest in tke 
scale.
